Did taking the fever-reducing medicine bring your temperature down to 37 degrees Celsius, and are you feeling better now?

Patient's question:

Don't: 27 years old male main symptoms: Onset time: 2 days ago Laboratory test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: 2 days ago in the morning felt uncomfortable, yesterday had a high fever of 39 degrees, now 37 degrees

Doctor's answer:

Taking fever-reducing medication to lower your temperature does not necessarily mean you are getting better. If you have a fever or the flu, and your temperature drops within 3 days without taking any fever-reducing medication, and it does not continue to decline, it indicates that your fever is fully recovering. If you stop taking fever-reducing medication and your temperature rises again within 2 days, it means you are not yet recovered. If you have coughing, phlegm, or chills, it is best to go to the hospital for a complete blood count to check if your white blood cell count is high. If it is high, it could be a bacterial infection and you may need antibiotics. If it is not high, it could be influenza, and you should isolate yourself, rest well, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, and take fever-reducing medication.
