Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, it is not recommended to use growth hormone during a fever. Growth hormone injections generally do not cause fever; fever is usually caused by infection. It is advised to visit a hospital for a blood test and receive treatment based on the results. Growth hormone can increase height and enhance the immune system, but it is only suitable for patients with dwarfism or growth hormone deficiency. Improper administration may lead to gigantism, growth hormone secretion disorders, reduced insulin function resulting in diabetes, or potentially coronary heart disease. Treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a physician.
