Patient's question:
Pubic lice, some small flesh particles on the scrotum. High fever, after taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsided. Do pubic lice cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Clinical suspicion: Pediculosis pubis primarily manifests as severe itching, which is more pronounced at night and does not cause fever. Excessive scratching can lead to secondary infections such as furuncles, impetigo, and bacterial infections.Advice: You should maintain good personal hygiene. Avoid sharing towels when working or traveling, and do not use others' bedding. In daily life, boil and wash towels, sheets, and underwear/underpants to kill germs through sunlight exposure. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, follow a regular diet, and avoid foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
