Question
Hello doctor, my mother is 53 years old and has been experiencing persistent high fever for over 20 days, with temperatures reaching above 39 degrees. After intravenous treatment, the fever temporarily subsides, but sometimes she still has a fever during the infusion process. Yesterday, some rashes similar to measles appeared on her body. Is this situation serious? How should I handle it? Thank you!
Answer
The symptoms you described may be due to a viral infection, and the rashes on her body might be heat rashes caused by the high fever. I suggest you take her to the hospital for routine blood tests and other relevant examinations to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. At the same time, ensure she drinks plenty of water. I hope these suggestions help you address the issue of “recurring fever at fixed times,” and wish both you and your mother a speedy recovery!
