Patient's question:
In 2007, I thought I had chronic pelvic inflammatory disease after a miscarriage and have been taking antibiotics. My past treatment and its effectiveness: Taking traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics. What help did it provide: Now my condition has improved, and a few days ago, I picked up some medicine at the gynecology hospital and took some antibiotics. Now I have high fever every day, feeling hot whenever I say it, dizzy and painful, with a confused mind. What could be the reason? Did I overdose on the medicine, 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 alleviate symptoms. Pay attention to prevention for chronic cases, and there is no need for long-term medication. Long-term antibiotic use or the emergence of 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 caused by other internal medicine conditions. It is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment from an internal medicine specialist. If there is no significant abdominal pain, it is advisable to stop all antibiotic use.
