Question
I am 53 years old. A few days ago, I caught a cold and had a fever after drinking some cool water at the entrance of a shopping mall, and it hasn’t gotten better. I’ve been experiencing high fever every afternoon accompanied by pain in my right ear for four days now, without any symptoms like a runny nose or sore throat. My previous treatment methods and effects: I have taken amoxicillin and Baijiahei cold medicine, and I have been enduring hot water footbaths and electric heating pads to reduce swelling. What kind of help do I need? Hi, what is this condition exactly?
Answer
Hi, based on your description, you may have contracted less yang fever syndrome. In this case, taking anti-inflammatory and cold medicine may be ineffective. It is recommended to adopt the traditional Chinese medicine treatment method of harmonizing less yang, and seek the assistance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe appropriate Chinese herbs for adjustment.
