Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the original Chinese line breaks preserved:---
To briefly explain the common symptoms and treatment methods for daily fever. Generally, fever is mainly divided into two types: one is wind-cold fever, characterized by chills, fever, clear nasal discharge, no sweating, headache, body pain, and no thirst. The other is wind-heat cold, with severe fever, sweating, sore throat, dry throat, thirst, and yellow nasal discharge.
Recommendations:
1. Antiviral treatment: Oral ribavirin or traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, such as Radix Isatidis or Compound Isatis Leaf tablets.
2. Antibacterial treatment: Taking penicillin-class or cephalosporin-class antibiotics, but the duration should be more than one week.
3. Symptomatic treatment: If the fever is high, use ibuprofen or nimesulide to reduce body temperature. Coughing is the body's protective mechanism, helping to expel foreign bodies, bacteria, and viruses from the body, which aids in complete recovery from inflammation. If the cough is mild, it is recommended to use blood-cooling medications, such as Bromhexine, to promote phlegm discharge. If severe, short-term lung-cleaning medications like Benzydamine can be used.
It is recommended that you visit the infectious disease department or fever clinic for examination and undergo a viral test.
