Patient's question:
High fever duration over 20 days, daytime temperature remains basically normal, but at night the temperature is high between 36.8-37.2. Tested blood and chest X-ray at the hospital, both came back normal. Today's urine test showed weakly positive. Does pneumonia cause high fever?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia can lead to high fever. Fever is the body's self-defense autoimmune response to fighting off pathogens. It is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor in treatment. Pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, and prevent poor triggers such as colds. Avoid spicy and fried foods, as they may worsen the condition. Drink more hot fluids, as they can be beneficial for recovery. Maintain a positive attitude, as it can boost the immune system. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
