Patient's question:
At 8:00 PM on the 24th, I discovered I had a fever, measuring 37.8 degrees Celsius. There were no other symptoms, and my mental state was also good.Past Treatment and Effects:
I didn’t take any medicine that night, just used warm water to lower the fever. It stayed high until the next day. The next day, I bought fever-reducing medicine and Qingre Jiedu Koufuye (a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying). After taking the fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsided, and I broke a sweat with a cool body.
Help Needed:
What could be the cause of this fever? What kind of would medicine be best to take?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to further check blood tests to rule out how inflammation spreads and causes fever symptoms. For fever, it is necessary to lower the temperature and keep the room temperature below 30℃. This can be achieved by placing ice cubes in the room, using electric fans, or air conditioners. Physical cooling methods include sponge baths with 30% alcohol, placing ice packs in the groin, armpits, and neck, or using cooling beds or cold pads. Indomethacin 12.5–25mg, every 4–6 hours. Chinese herbal medicine options include Huanglian Qingxin pills and Bupleurum injection.
