Patient's question:
Last night I had a fever of 39.5 degrees. I took one tablet of Zheng Tong Pill, but it didn't bring down the fever. Today I received two bottles of intravenous drips (with fever-reducing, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects) before the fever subsided. What is this stubborn illness? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
I believe you are experiencing cold symptoms due to a weakened immune system after catching a cold, which allows bacteria or viruses to enter your body. The clinical manifestations include fever, runny nose, sore throat, and discomfort. I recommend taking Ganmao Granules and Antiviral Oral Liquid, drinking plenty of water, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, eating small meals frequently to prevent overeating, quitting smoking and alcohol. You can also try brewing ginger water with brown sugar, which is quite effective. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold to alleviate the symptoms.
