Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if my eight-month-old child has a high fever?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.During the physical examination, the patient was found to have pleural thickening, which is a sequela of tuberculous pleurisy. Tuberculous pleurisy is a type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and in most of these patients, the tuberculosis bacteria cannot be detected. Since the patient still has a small amount of pleural effusion, antituberculous treatment should be administered even if the bacteria cannot be found.
