Patient's question:
I am a salesperson, and I usually come into contact with a lot of people. I need to drink beer often and eat dinner out, but I often have irregular meals as well. Recently, I have developed gastritis and even high fever, so I want to understand if gastritis can cause high fever?Doctor's answer:
Gastritis is not the inflammation one might imagine in daily life; it does not cause fever. This low-grade fever is a completely different matter from the inflammation caused by bacterial infections we usually refer to. Therefore, it is recommended that patients take traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their condition, as this is the way to gradually improve. At the same time, they should also drink more water, pay attention to their diet, avoid cold exposure, and maintain a cheerful mood—avoid being overly impatient. Patients should eat more vegetables and engage in appropriate exercise.
