Patient's question:
I am 45 years old. First, I had a cold and took some medicine, which slightly improved. It has been more than ten days, and I have been experiencing low-grade fever, general weakness, dry nausea. I went to the town health center for an electrocardiogram, chest scan, and blood test. The blood test results showed slightly elevated levels, but other tests were normal. My family is worried it might be a stroke or similar condition, suggesting I get a brain CT. Is it necessary?Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition is indicated by high blood parameters, proving inflammation. It is absolutely not a case of cerebral thrombosis or similar brain-related issues, as high fever is generally not associated with such conditions. Oral antibiotics can be administered for treatment. Maintain a light diet, drink more hot water, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, pay attention to preventing colds, rest appropriately, actively search for the source of infection, and treat based on the cause. Pay attention to keeping warm, do not drink alcohol, and engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity.
