What should I do if my high fever persists?

Question 1: What should I do if I have a persistent fever? The fever is like this. It is normal. If you take medicine, it will go away. If you don't take medicine, you will have a fever again. Don't think it's good to take the medicine once. Take antipyretics on time and don't stop. The child will burn for about three days if he is worried. Adults will be better. The most important thing is to reduce the fever in time. If your throat is inflamed, you should also take anti-inflammatory drugs, so that you can get better faster. Good wishes!

Question 2: What is the persistent fever?

Hello: I have a fever because my energy exchange system doesn't work. Although my body is very hot, I still feel very cold. So first of all, I want to cool my body and replenish energy. I can put cold water on my head to prevent burning my brain and nerves. Usually I wipe my body with alcohol to cool the patient down. After that, I should drink more hot brown sugar water or glucose, because glucose is the most basic substance in human metabolism and is absorbed quickly. It can replenish energy to the body in the shortest time. Then cover the quilt and sweat, so that toxins and metabolic wastes in your body can be excreted with sweat. This will reduce the fever. After the fever has gone down, the patient is very weak, so be careful not to catch a cold again. If you don't come down, or have a fever repeatedly, you should see a doctor for treatment, which may be caused by a virus. When the temperature reaches 40 degrees, protein's degeneration will occur in your body, so you should treat it as soon as possible, or you will be hurt.

Guiding opinions:

Sudden fever, don't be afraid, don't be paranoid, don't be overtaxed. For most diseases, early detection and early treatment are effective measures to reduce harm and avoid complications caused by delayed medical treatment.

The hospital has good isolation measures and will use the best detection methods to screen patients with fever. Every fever patient is a single room, and the patients in the fever clinic will use special machines to make necessary examinations such as taking pictures. Hospitals in Beijing, especially infectious diseases hospitals, have never let down their vigilance for a moment, and all kinds of protective measures are available. It is safest for the patient to stay in the hospital during the necessary examination. In fact, there are many diseases that cause fever, which can be roughly divided into three categories. One is infectious diseases, including infections caused by eight pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa and rickettsia. Almost all infectious diseases can cause fever, such as colds, AIDS, malaria, meningitis, SARS and so on. The other is fever caused by tumor, especially in the late stage of tumor. Third, autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus can also cause fever.

What about a low fever?

Generally speaking, patients with high fever and low fever refer to patients with high fever above 38.5℃ and patients with low fever below 38.5℃. In the case of low fever, liquids such as vegetable juice and scented tea should be supplemented first. If possible, you can use a cold wet towel to compress the whole body, or use a sponge to wipe the whole body and take a warm bath. During the period, pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes, not too much for heat dissipation, but not too little to avoid catching a cold. The doctor suggested that it is more accurate to measure the body temperature 30 minutes after meals. Even if it's only a low-grade fever, it's best to go to a fever clinic. Clinically, it is often seen that some patients who are used to self-diagnosis delay the best treatment opportunity and even pay the price of their lives.

Life care:

Teach you several ways to reduce fever:

1. Drugs: Antipyretic and analgesic drugs have antipyretic effects, such as Merrill Lynch and Tylenol. You can buy it in a drugstore, and the staff of the drugstore will recommend it to you. It is best to use it when you have a high fever. The temperature is above 38.5, and the interval between taking medicine is at least 4-6 hours.

2. Physical cooling: Knead the neck, armpit and thigh root repeatedly with warm water, or apply it with an ice pack.

You'd better go to the hospital to see why you have a fever. Treating the primary disease is the fundamental solution.

Question 3: What should adults do if they have a high fever? The body temperature of healthy people is relatively stable, and the oral (sublingual) temperature is kept at about 37℃. The body temperature is 0.3 ~ 0.5℃ higher than the oral temperature, and the underarm temperature is 0.2 ~ 0.4℃ lower than the oral temperature. People's body temperature is slightly lower in the morning and higher in the afternoon, and the difference is not more than 65438 0℃.

Generally, if the body temperature (based on the oral temperature) exceeds 39℃, it is considered as high fever, which is very harmful to human body. It obviously increases the consumption of the body, damages the functions of the heart, brain, liver, kidney and other important organs, and causes a series of symptoms such as accelerated heartbeat and breathing, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and even unconsciousness and convulsions. This is tantamount to adding insult to injury to critically ill patients who need careful treatment and care.

(A) the cause of high fever

1? Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses and protozoa, which is the most common cause. Such as colds, pneumonia, bronchitis and malaria.

2? Non-infectious diseases such as heatstroke, tumor and immune diseases such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid disease.

(2) Diagnosis of high fever

(1) Patients with high fever, systemic chills and chills are mostly infected by bacteria or protozoa, such as septicemia, malaria, lobar pneumonia, acute pyelonephritis and acute cholecystitis.

(2) High fever with systemic rash is common in eruptive infectious diseases. The rash appeared 1 ~ 6 days after fever, followed by chickenpox, scarlet fever, measles and typhoid fever.

(3) High fever with severe headache and vomiting is more common in meningitis and encephalitis.

(4) High fever with chest pain, cough and shortness of breath is common in respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, tracheitis and pleurisy.

(5) High fever with abdominal pain, and the pain in the right upper abdomen may be hepatitis, liver abscess and cholecystitis; Abdominal pain may be peritonitis.

(6) High fever for more than three weeks is more common in malignant tumor, tuberculosis and bacterial endocarditis.

Patients with high fever must go to the hospital for examination, make a clear diagnosis and treat them according to the cause. The high fever can only get better, but only antipyretic drugs can only work temporarily, and the high fever will not return after the drug is used.

(3) High fever.

When you have a high fever, your face is flushed, your skin is burning, your mouth is dry, you are listless, your diet is poor, and your breathing and pulse are accelerated (every time you increase 1℃ from 37℃, your pulse is accelerated 10). The patient begins to feel drowsy, and in severe cases, coma and convulsions (convulsions) occur.

(4) Rescue measures

(1) In the early stage of high fever, patients may have chills due to the severe contraction of skin blood vessels. Don't rush to take measures to reduce fever at this time, and pay attention to keep warm. After the chill, the body temperature rises rapidly, and then take the following measures to reduce the fever in time.

(2) Stay in bed and drink plenty of water, about 2000 ml per day, especially when the temperature is high. It is best not to use sugary drinks.

(3) Physical cooling method: ice pack: it can reduce the congestion and edema of the brain and protect the central nervous system. The specific method is to take the ice cubes out of the refrigerator, put them in cold water to remove the edges and corners, then put them in hot water bottles, and put water in 1/2 bags. Cover the cover tightly with the discharged air, and check that there is no water leakage. Put them on the patient's forehead, pillow, neck and bilateral armpits respectively, and exchange positions every 20 minutes to avoid frostbite. Rubbing with alcohol: it can dilate local blood vessels and take away heat through the evaporation of alcohol, thus achieving the purpose of cooling down. The concentration of alcohol used for physical cooling is about 30%. 70% ~ 95% alcohol with water1:1~1:2 can also be prepared with white wine. Bathing parts include neck, pillow, armpit, elbow socket, thigh root, ankle socket and so on. , but don't wipe the chest, abdomen, palms, ankles, etc. To avoid bad consequences. The action of alcohol bath should be gentle, with skin reddening as the degree, and a thin layer can be rubbed. If the patient has chills, pale face and blue lips, he should immediately stop taking a bath, cover the quilt to keep warm and drink some sugar water.

Question 4: What should adults do if they have a high fever for three consecutive days? Do you have cough, expectoration, chest tightness and other discomfort? Is the lymph node swollen? Wait, the common fever is infection. If you have cough and expectoration, it is recommended to check chest CT and sputum culture to determine the infected focus and infected flora. It is generally more effective to choose drugs according to the drug sensitivity of infected flora. At present, you can also choose cephalosporins for anti-infection treatment, giving cough and phlegm. If you are already using cephalosporin, you can choose Tylenol or Meiping, which has strong antibacterial activity. If there is no cough, expectoration, chest tightness and other discomfort. It is suggested to go to the hospital and ask a doctor to check whether there is lymphadenopathy. If necessary, lymph node biopsy will be performed to find out the cause of swelling. Many lymphoma patients have fever, and many blood pictures in the early stage are normal. The antiviral treatment you mentioned will usually heal itself in a week or so. Now it's been a week, and I don't think there are any instructions. In addition, your temperature was normal that day, but it was an illusion caused by using antipyretic drugs and antipyretic needles. I hope to recover soon.

Question 5: How to deal with repeated fever and persistent high fever? There will be some changes in people's temperature during the day. Low body temperature in the morning and high body temperature before rest at noon are related to human metabolism. Your temperature is basically normal at 36.8-37.7. Fever consumes a lot of energy, and people's resistance is weak. You need to supplement some nutrition. Don't eat spicy, greasy and indigestible food, because these foods will increase the burden of digestive function of gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to patients' recovery as soon as possible. In addition, drink more water and have more rest! !

Question 6: What about persistent fever? The fever is like this. It is normal. If you take medicine, it will go away. If you don't take medicine, you will have a fever again. Don't think it's good to take the medicine once. Take antipyretics on time and don't stop. The child will burn for about three days if he is worried. Adults will be better.
