Patient's question:
Some of my friends have infectious diseases, I'm afraid of getting infected, but I'm too embarrassed to ask others. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up, but I'm also afraid. Please tell me if I might get rabies in this situation?Doctor's answer:
After taking oral fever-reducing medication, if the fever does not subside, it is necessary to check a blood test to determine whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Under the guidance of a doctor, antibiotics and antiviral medications can be used for symptomatic treatment. Fever-reducing medication only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. During this period, it is advisable to drink more warm water to help enhance the body's metabolic processes and avoid getting cold.If your dog is a sick dog, there is indeed a possibility of transmission, but it is unrelated to fever and rabies virus. It is likely caused by other factors. It is recommended to seek further diagnosis and treatment.
