Answer
Dear patient, fever may be due to an inflammatory response caused by infection. Treatment includes both etiological treatment and symptomatic treatment. If the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to use medication or physical methods to reduce fever. In addition, maintaining good living habits such as adequate rest, avoiding staying up late, balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and moderate exercise to sweat can all help in body recovery. If the condition does not improve, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
