Question
How to treat a high fever that accompanies a cough for a long time?
Answer
A long-lasting cough accompanied by a high fever can be caused by various reasons, common ones including acute pharyngitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. The treatment plan should be based on the cause of the illness. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment. For coughs with no phlegm or very little phlegm, cough syrup or lozenges can be used to relieve symptoms. For long-term chronic coughs, it is necessary to find the cause and undergo corresponding treatment. Additionally, it is important to maintain good living habits, avoid irritants such as smoking and alcohol, and ensure good indoor air circulation to alleviate cough symptoms.
