Question
Is it appropriate to use antipyretic medication for treatment if a patient with hemangioma experiences fever after undergoing interventional surgery?
Answer
Hemangioma is a common benign tumor, and interventional treatment is widely recommended for its significant effects and minimal physical damage. However, if fever occurs after the interventional surgery, it is important to first consider the possibility of inflammation and infection. In this case, it is not recommended to self-administer antipyretics, as this may mask the actual condition. It is advisable for patients to seek immediate medical attention at a regular public hospital’s oncology department to determine the specific cause of the fever and receive appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance. This approach is not only safe but also effective in treating the underlying cause.
