What kind of help is needed:
I want to know what's happening. Besides using medication, what can I do to get better?
Doctor's answer:
Recurring high fever is often caused by infections, but it can also be due to abnormalities in the body's temperature regulation center, abnormal skin heat conduction, the metabolism of sterile purulent substances, or antigen-antibody reactions, among other factors. You can visit the hospital for a complete blood count and ESR test, and if necessary, a blood culture test can be performed to confirm the diagnosis.For fever, you can initially take acetaminophen orally. During high fever, alcohol or warm water baths can be used for cooling. It's important to drink plenty of fluids and maintain a light diet. If you experience any discomfort, please return for reexamination, and hospitalization may be necessary if needed.
