If the patient experiences fever again for an unclear reason, especially persistent low-grade fever, it could be a sign of cancer.

It is important to visit the hospital promptly for diagnosis and treatment. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered.In addition to treatment, the patient should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and drafts, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
