Patient's question:
Symptoms before the fever included headache, inflamed gums, and body aches. For the first three days, I treated it as a fever caused by gum inflammation, using Dalixin, Yanhu Ning, and a fever-reducing medication, but the fever did not subside. Today is already the sixth day. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
During the process, it should be checked through a complete blood count to confirm whether it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection.1. Bacterial infection: The white blood cell count in the blood test often shows hyperplasia, accompanied by symptoms such as cough, phlegm, sore throat, redness, and pain.
2. Viral infection: The blood test often shows a low white blood cell count, accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, and sneezing. The treatment medications for bacterial infection and viral infection are different. It is recommended that you consider the treatment.
