Patient's question:
In 2007, I thought I had chronic pelvic inflammation after a miscarriage and have been taking antibiotics ever since. My past treatment and its effects: Taking traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics has provided some help. Now my condition has improved, and a few days ago, I picked up some medicine from a gynecology hospital and took some antibiotics. Now I have high fever every day, feeling hot whenever I say I'm hot, dizzy and in pain, and my mind is unclear. What could be the reason? Did I overdose on medication, or has my condition really improved?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a chronic condition. During acute recurrence, taking antibiotics or medication with intravenous fluids can help alleviate symptoms. It's important to pay attention to prevention for chronic cases, and long-term medication is not necessary. Long-term antibiotic use or the emergence of drug resistance can lead to increased body resistance, unexplained fever, and other issues. Once pelvic inflammatory disease is resolved, it will not reappear with the symptoms you mentioned. These symptoms are likely caused by other internal medicine conditions. It is recommended to consult an internal medicine specialist for diagnosis and treatment. If there is no significant abdominal pain, it is advisable to stop all antibiotic use.
