Pneumonia with high fever, hospitalized for a week with persistent high fever?

Patient's question:

Last week, I was hospitalized for a week due to low-grade fever from lung infection. This week at the hospital has been truly tormenting. The fever has left me with poor appetite, feeling like living a death-like existence every day. Hello, when will my fever subside? When will my lung infection be cured?

Doctor's answer:

After a lung infection, a low-grade fever has recurred. If hospitalized for a week, the fever has not subsided. It is considered highly related to a bacterial infection. Once the inflammation subsides, the body temperature will rise. It is recommended to visit the hospital for bacterial culture to implement targeted medication. At the same time, it is important to carefully observe for any recurrence of shortness of breath. If choking symptoms reappear, oxygen therapy can be used to alleviate the situation.
