Patient's question:
I had a fever (with a runny nose) and sore throat on April 6th and have been taking medicine, but it hasn't helped. On April 14th in the afternoon, I had a high fever of 37.6°C and some pain in my lungs when breathing. I took medicine today, and the fever has gone down, the lung pain has subsided, but I still have a runny nose. Am I infected with H7N9?Medical history and treatment outcomes:
I thought it was a minor illness and didn't go to see a doctor. I'm looking for some consultation and a quick check-up.
Doctor's answer:
Considering you might have a fever, rest appropriately, drink plenty of hot water, and provide liquid or easily digestible foods during the fever period. Pay attention to keeping your mouth, eyes, and nose clean, and maintain a supply of fresh indoor air with appropriate temperature and humidity. If you have high fever, you can use physical cooling methods such as cold compresses on the head, 35% alcohol rubs, or warm water rubs, or take aspirin orally, or take acetaminophen orally. For high fever with restlessness, provide antipyretics while also giving phenobarbital to prevent further convulsions. Add anti-inflammatory drugs if there is inflammation. The above suggestions are for the question "Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, please take a look for me." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
