Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year. The other day, my whole family of two went to the grassland for a trip. When sleeping, I was bitten by many insects, and then symptoms of fever, headache, and dry heaving reappeared. I went to the local hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was hemorrhagic fever. I have never heard of this disease before. Can antibiotics be taken if you get this disease?Doctor's answer:
Hemorrhagic fever is primarily caused by viral infections, while antibiotics are mainly used to treat bacterial infections. Therefore, taking antibiotics in this situation will have no significant effect. If fever reoccurs, physical cooling or antipyretic drugs can be used. If hypotensive shock reoccurs, blood volume should be replenished promptly. In cases of oliguria, diuretic drugs can be used, while in cases of polyuria, electrolyte balance should be monitored.
