Patient's question:
I've had a fever for a long time and went to the hospital to see a doctor, but it didn't help. The doctor didn't say much and gave me some medicine, but it still didn't work. The next day, I went to another hospital, and it was the same situation. Could you please advise on how to handle repeated fever that doesn't go down?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a chest X-ray to check the respiratory system. The fever is because the body's energy exchange system is not working properly. Although the body is hot, the person still feels cold, so the first step is to cool the body down and replenish energy. Cold water can be applied to the head to prevent brain nerve damage. Generally, alcohol is used to wipe the body to lower the patient's temperature. Early treatment is crucial, otherwise it may cause brain and nerve damage, leading to encephalitis, pneumonia, or other complications.
