Patient's question:
Recently, I have had a low-grade fever and been very cold. My friend told me this could be a symptom of endocarditis, and I'm very worried. So, I'd like to ask: is it endocarditis if I have a high fever accompanied by chills for more than 40 days? If it is endocarditis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The patient currently mainly has low-grade fever but feels cold. This situation has occurred multiple times, mainly considered to be due to hyperthermia issues, with the most common triggers being viral or bacterial infections. If the symptoms are very prominent or persist without improvement, it is recommended to have a thorough heart examination to rule out the possibility of endocarditis. It is advised to rest during daily life. Wishing you good health.
