Question
Why do I feel feverish after taking Yanhuning? I have a cough and fever, and my doctor prescribed Yanhuning injection. The instructions say that if fever occurs during the medication process, the medication should be stopped immediately. I started to have a fever four hours after the injection. Should I stop taking the medication?
Answer
Based on your description, your main issue is cough and fever. If there are no other significant discomforts with the use of Yanhuning, there is no need to stop the medication immediately. Your fever and cough may be caused by the underlying disease rather than the medication. Yanhuning is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation containing anti-inflammatory properties, and some patients may be allergic to certain components, leading to fever and other discomforts, such as skin itching. If you experience fever after the injection, consider observing for any other allergic reactions. If any are present, consider stopping the medication.
