Patient's question:
The past three or four days, I had high fever and twitching, which was never the case before.Test results and thorough examination: The tests showed no other diseases.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Hospitalized, but the fever didn’t subside even when the condition was severe. The fever was so high that it led to twitching and eventually pneumonia.
What kind of help is needed: Currently hospitalized, but the fever still doesn’t go down. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Recurring episodes of high fever leading to febrile convulsions are advised to be treated promptly with fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol. Additionally, physical cooling methods can be employed. For the twitching, sedative medications may be used. Moreover, high fever is primarily caused by bacterial or viral infections. It is recommended to undergo a complete blood count examination and, based on the results, to receive anti-inflammatory treatment. With proper use of anti-inflammatory drugs to suppress lung infections, combined with physical cooling to reduce body temperature, the condition will improve.
