Features: If body temperature exceeds 37.5°C or changes by more than 1°C within a day, it can be considered a fever. The causes of fever are many and are generally divided into infectious and non-infectious categories. Infectious fever is primarily caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the human body, leading to acute infections such as influenza, measles, Japanese encephalitis, sepsis, acute bacillary dysentery, malaria, and acute schistosomiasis; subacute or chronic infections can also cause fever. Non-infectious fever is often seen in tissue damage (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, internal bleeding, trauma or burns, major postoperative complications), malignant tumors, acute leukemia, acute hemolytic anemia, and allergic diseases (e.g., rheumatism, serum sickness, drug fever, disseminated lupus erythematosus). Additionally, conditions such as hyperthyroidism, dehydration, and heatstroke can also cause fever.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that fever is caused by external pathogens or internal injuries. External pathogens fever often manifests as chills, fever, and no sweating. The characteristics of internal injury fever include a slower onset, a longer course, low-grade fever, night sweats, and accompanying symptoms such as nausea and restlessness. It is commonly seen in modern medicine conditions like tuberculosis, tumors, and some chronic infectious diseases.
Dietary Therapy
1. Remove the seeds from watermelon flesh, squeeze the juice through clean gauze, and drink it in large quantities as water (the best type is "three-white watermelon," meaning white rind, white flesh, and white seeds).
2. Take 1 ripe cucumber, 90 ml of bamboo juice, 10 g of anhydrous sodium bicarbonate, and 30 g of honey. Chop the cucumber, add 250 ml of water, mash it to extract the juice, mix it with the other ingredients, and simmer in a bowl for 30 minutes. Divide into 3 doses and take throughout the day.
3. Take 1 large pear, 5 water chestnuts, 30 g of fresh reed root, 30 g of fresh orchid root, and 30 g of fresh lotus root. Wash and crush them separately, squeeze the juice through clean gauze, mix the juices, and drink either cold or warm.
4. Take 2 eggs and 60 g of honey. Beat the eggs into a bowl, mix in honey and an appropriate amount of water, and stir well. Pour boiling water over the mixture and drink as an egg drink once a day.
5. Take several fragrant pears or snow pears, crush and squeeze the juice, add an appropriate amount of honey, and simmer. Dilute with cool boiled water before drinking.
6. Take the flesh of watermelon, remove the seeds, squeeze the juice through clean gauze. Boil tomatoes, peel and remove the seeds, and squeeze the juice similarly. Combine the two juices and drink as water.
All the above methods have the function of clearing heat.
