Low fever for two months

High fever is a common phenomenon in life, so many people want to take some antipyretics when they have a high fever. In fact, only when the high fever temperature reaches 38 degrees or above does it meet the standard of taking antipyretics. If the high fever temperature is not particularly high and is in the stage of low fever, you should carefully check what inflammation is in your body. So what should you do if you have a low fever for two months?

A variety of illnesses can cause a low-grade fever. Fever is a symptom. Diseases such as rheumatism, tuberculosis, chronic inflammation, and low immunity can cause persistent low fever. Long-term psychological stress and emotional instability can also cause disorders in the body temperature center, resulting in persistent low fever of unknown cause. A problem with any system in the body can cause a persistent low-grade fever. What is the cause of low-grade fever? It is difficult to find out through routine tests such as blood, urine, and stool. Some low-grade fevers caused by bacterial infections can only be discovered through bacterial culture.

Do not abuse medication for a low-grade fever. Fever is one of the body's responses to disease. Taking antipyretics for patients with low fever is not conducive to the treatment of the disease. Indiscriminate use of antipyretics may also lead to a decrease in white blood cells and aplastic anemia. Antipyretics should only be considered when the body temperature is above 38°C.

If a low-grade fever persists, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and undergo a comprehensive examination. Some early symptoms of malignant tumors or bacterial infections are also low-grade fever. Go to the hospital for relevant examinations to avoid worsening of the cause of the fever.

First of all, you need to understand the baby's body temperature. The normal body temperature of a baby is 37.6. If it does not exceed 39, you should take care of the baby at home by yourself and adopt physical cooling measures. Use a warm towel to wipe the baby's forehead, armpits, palms, soles of feet, and other places on the upper body that are prone to heat, and keep the air circulating. The caregiver must be very careful and check the temperature every half hour to keep the baby's mood. Crying and making a fuss will cause the body temperature to rise. The baby is so young, if he has a fever, it would be safer to go to the hospital.
