Patient's question:
There was also a time when I had a fever for several days, but after going to the hospital for an intravenous drip, it was gone after just one day of treatment.What kind of help do you need: What could be the cause? Do I still need to take fever-reducing medication? Do I need to go to the hospital for an intravenous drip?
Doctor's answer:
You can have a complete blood test to confirm whether the recurrent fever is caused by bacterial or viral infection before starting treatment. Treatment should be based on the situation, with anti-inflammatory or antiviral therapy being appropriate. The treatment should primarily use antibiotics, as simply using fever-reducing drugs only addresses the symptoms and does not treat the root cause. If the temperature is too high, oral fever-reducing drugs such as naproxen can be taken to prevent further high fever seizures. Drink plenty of water and use physical methods to lower the temperature, which will help the body recover completely.
