Fever persists for a week

Fever is a very common disease, and many factors can cause fever in the human body. For example, infections, inflammation, colds and other diseases can cause people to have fever symptoms, but as long as they are handled properly, the fever can be quickly controlled. Generally speaking, patients with fever can quickly reduce their temperature within a few hours through infusion or medication. But some people have a fever that doesn't go away for a week. So, what are the reasons for a fever that lasts for a week?

Common causes of persistent high fever include:

1. Infection: fever caused by bacterial or viral infection;

2. Non-infection: tissue damage, inflammation, allergy;

3. Others: Taking medications may also cause fever.

After understanding the reasons for persistent high fever, some antipyretic analgesics can be used in addition to causal treatment. Antipyretic analgesics are used to reduce fever, which is purely symptomatic treatment and cannot eliminate the fever-causing cause of the disease. Therefore, you still need to seek medical attention in time after taking the medicine.

In daily life, persistent high fever frequently occurs in children and children under 6 years old. Every time the seasons change, many children suffer from colds and fevers. If parents do not handle it in time, it may cause convulsions (in very rare cases).

Febrile convulsions in children are one of the most common hazards of persistent high fever in children. Febrile convulsions are manifested by muscle rigidity, intermittent body convulsions, upturned eyes, dull gaze, clenched teeth, confusion, and even foaming at the mouth and incontinence. This type of high fever convulsion usually occurs when a high fever occurs, and is common in patients with temperatures above 39°C. Each time the fever occurs, the convulsion usually occurs once and lasts for several seconds. If handled properly and the incidents are not frequent, the harm to the child will not be great. However, if the attacks occur frequently or last too long, it can cause brain deprivation or brain damage in children.

For febrile convulsions, the baby should be laid flat first with the head tilted to one side to prevent the baby from choking on phlegm. At the same time, it is best to put chopsticks horizontally in the baby's mouth to prevent the baby from biting his tongue and to facilitate his breathing to avoid lack of oxygen in the head. But the most important thing is to reduce the temperature immediately. In addition to the above protective measures, to prevent the child from suffering greater harm due to convulsions, you can give the child the traditional Chinese medicine classic prescription - Beijing Tongrentang's Angong Niuhuang Pills (abbreviated as Anniu) in time.

Beijing Tong Ren Tang's Angong Niuhuang Pills are effective in controlling and preventing recurrence of symptoms of high fever convulsions or encephalitis convulsions. There are also a large number of clinical trials proving that Anniu can reduce the temperature of various types of encephalitis, relieve the symptoms of encephalitis convulsions, and promote awakening, significantly promoting the improvement and recovery of the disease and avoiding sequelae. At the same time, it is also used for emergency treatment of febrile convulsions caused by various diseases. The "Expert Consensus on the Integrated Treatment of Acute Fever in Children with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" recommends Anniu as a preventive medicine for febrile convulsions. After the seizure symptoms are relieved, you should seek medical attention promptly.

I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding of the reasons for persistent high fever. For persistent high fever of unknown cause, timely medical examination and treatment is crucial. In addition, disease prevention and treatment is also important. The most fundamental thing in disease prevention and control is to have a strong physique. Therefore, both adults and children should strengthen their exercise, enhance their immunity, and improve their ability to resist diseases in order to maintain good health and deal with disease invasion.
