Patient's question:
My father suddenly had a fever three days ago without coughing or other flu symptoms, just all-over body aches. He then took antiviral medication. In the morning yesterday, his fever subsided, but it rose again to a high of 38.7°C from the afternoon to the evening. Last night, he started taking anti-inflammatory medication and was sweating profusely while sleeping. This morning, his fever wasn't high, but in the afternoon, his highest temperature was 37.3°C. I want to ask if this intermittent fever could possibly be H7N9?Medical History and Treatment Effects:
He took antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications.
What Help Is Needed:
Hello, could this intermittent fever possibly be H7N9?
Doctor's answer:
H7N9 patients generally exhibit flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, and minimal sputum, which can be accompanied by headache, muscle aches, and general discomfort. However, if the patient does not cough or exhibit other flu symptoms but only suffers from widespread pain, it is evident that it is a common viral infection! It is recommended to take many antiviral medications. If there is no improvement, it is advised to visit a hospital for a check-up and pay attention to keeping warm. Additionally, it is important to exercise regularly and enhance immunity in daily life!
