What does a low fever mean?
Low fever, also known as low fever, is a common symptom. Generally speaking, low fever means that the body temperature is higher than normal, that is, the body temperature is between 37.3℃ and 38℃. Long-term low fever refers to continuous fever for more than two weeks, excluding intermittent fever. Persistent low-grade fever should be treated as soon as possible, and comprehensive examination should be carried out as soon as possible. Some early symptoms of malignant tumor or early bacterial infection are also low grade fever.

Principles of treatment

Low fever caused by infectious factors should be treated according to infectious pathogens. For low fever that is not caused by infection, it is necessary to make a detailed examination, make a clear diagnosis, and actively treat the primary disease that causes low fever. For low-grade fever with unknown reasons, antipyretics should not be abused, and should only be considered when the body temperature is above 38℃. In children with low fever, many cases are difficult to find out the exact cause at the moment, so we can try to treat them with traditional Chinese medicine.
