Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. A few days ago, I caught a cold and fever after drinking relatively cold water outside a shopping mall, and it hasn't improved yet. Every afternoon, I have high fever accompanied by right ear pain, which has lasted for 4 days. There are no symptoms like a runny nose or sore throat.Previous Treatment and Effects:
- Took Amoxicillin and White Collar Black Collar cold medicine.
- Also endured hot water foot baths every day and used an electric heating pad to reduce swelling.
Kind of Help Needed:
Hello, what exactly is this illness?
Doctor's answer:
Is this a scheduled fever? If there are no symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, or other surface symptoms, it should be a Shaoyang fever. Shaoyang syndrome does not respond well to anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicines.Suggestions: The treatment principle should use harmonizing Shaoyang. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can address this issue. I recommend you consult a local TCM practitioner for herbal treatment.
The above advice is for the question "Daily afternoon high fever accompanied by right ear pain." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
