Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, under the overall deployment of the state on epidemic prevention and control, at present, the epidemic situation in various places has been generally controllable, and the harm of the virus to the human body is gradually decreasing. At present, people have been able to face Omicron with equanimity in the implementation of the 20 articles recently issued by the state and the "New Ten Articles" optimization measures for epidemic prevention and control. When the human body is positive, it is expected that in a week or so, fever may accompany the human body. Therefore, it is particularly important to take symptomatic measures when having a fever.
Little friends know that in medical clinic, fever can be divided into stages such as low fever (37.3-38℃), moderate fever (38. 1-39℃) and high fever (39. 1-4 1℃ and above). Below, let's take a concrete look at what methods can be used to quickly reduce fever at different stages.
Low heat (37.3- 38℃) stage. When the fever is 37.3, the clinical symptoms may be chills, runny nose and sneezing. At this stage, you don't need to take antipyretics for the time being, and you can take physical methods to cool down, such as warm water bath and ice compress, and replenish water appropriately; If the body temperature continues to rise from 37.3 and the temperature rises to about 38 degrees, you can consider using antipyretic stickers to cool down; If the effect is not very obvious, or the symptoms of persistent high fever appear during observation, we can consider taking traditional Chinese medicines with less side effects to reduce fever, such as Radix Isatidis, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, Lianhua Qingwen capsule, Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid and other drugs to reduce fever. At the same time, it is also necessary to replenish water in time and take a two-pronged approach with physical cooling methods to achieve synergistic fever reduction.
Medium heat (38. 1- 39℃) stage. When the body temperature is in the middle heat stage (38. 1-39℃), it indicates that the inflammation is getting worse. At this time, the patient should continue to drink plenty of water, replenish body fluids in time to prevent dehydration and promote metabolism, or wipe the forehead, armpit and groin with warm water or alcohol for physical cooling, and be careful not to make the patient catch cold, so as not to aggravate the fever symptoms, thus aggravating the fever symptoms; If the above physical cooling methods are still not effective, nimesulide granules or ibuprofen capsules can be taken to reduce the fever, while ibuprofen suspension is recommended for children to reduce the fever. If the effect of oral antipyretics is still not obvious, and the body temperature is still high, we can consider intramuscular injection of Bupleurum injection and other drugs to cool down, or go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
High fever (39. 1- 4 1℃ and above). When the body temperature is at the high fever stage (39. 1-4 1℃ and above), it indicates that inflammation is getting worse gradually, and other organs of the body may be accumulated. At this time, the patient may have coma, unconsciousness, convulsions and other symptoms. At this time, antipyretic drugs such as Tylenol can be taken orally, or an antipyretic suppository can be inserted into the anus of the patient, and the temperature can be reduced. If conditions permit, it is recommended to take Angong Niuhuang Pill to quickly cool the patient and relieve the symptoms such as high fever in time. It is also recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid delaying the illness and preventing damage to other organs of the body.
As the saying goes, the solution is always more difficult than it is. In my opinion, if you have a fever, you should measure your temperature in time, be aware of it, and carefully observe the progress of your illness. According to the body temperature at different stages, you can carry out symptomatic cooling treatment in time. For example, you can take physical cooling, traditional Chinese and western medicine cooling, massage, acupuncture and other ways to coordinate cooling. If the cooling effect is not obvious, and the high temperature lasts for more than 3 days, or there is ultra-high temperature, it indicates that the condition is critical, and it is recommended to be admitted to hospital for treatment, and the cause should be found in time for symptomatic treatment.
