Question
If a woman experiences recurrent high fevers with a temperature around 39 degrees Celsius, and it has happened twice, what measures should be taken to quickly reduce the fever?
Answer
If you feel all-over hot but have a normal body temperature, this condition is often due to yin deficiency and internal heat or insufficient Qi and Yin, related to personal constitution, overexertion, lack of sleep, and insufficient nutrition intake. Such symptoms are often accompanied by dry mouth and throat, hot palms and soles, and weak lower back and knees. Commonly used medications include Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan. You can also consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your clinical presentation.
