Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could a mosquito bite cause a child to have a fever?Doctor's answer:
Bites from insects are generally not associated with fever. However, if an infection occurs, fever may develop. Inflammation is characterized by redness and swelling. Anti-inflammatory and cooling treatments can be used, such as; Hualei Shui (Herbal Wash), Qingliang You (Cooling Balm), Erythromycin, etc. For fever reduction, you can also use ibuprofen suspension. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Surgical treatment is usually the preferred method, as medication alone is often not very effective. It is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment. Pay attention to postoperative care to prevent infection. Gradually, the condition will improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
