Question
Why does a child continue to have a fever after being treated for the common cold, and what further treatment recommendations are there?
Answer
There are many possible reasons for a fever after recovery from cold medication. These can include infectious diseases, tuberculosis, functional low-grade fever, tumors, blood diseases, connective tissue diseases, endocrine disorders, and certain chronic infectious diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, deficiencies in Qi, blood, Yin, and Yang or dysfunction of internal organs may also lead to fever. This is often manifested as low-grade fever but can sometimes be high-grade fever. Patients may only feel warmth in their palms and soles without necessarily having an elevated body temperature. The onset is usually gradual with a longer duration and is often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for a detailed examination to fully understand the symptoms and comprehensively analyze the condition to find the best treatment plan.
