How to Deal with Head and Nasal Pain Caused by Fever?

Question

How should I deal with head and nasal pain caused by fever? Lately, I’ve eaten a lot of foods that easily cause heat, and I’ve felt dry mouth and throat upon waking up, accompanied by headaches and nose pain. Can fever cause headaches and nose pain? I’ve seen a doctor three times, and each time I was given two bottles of intravenous drips. The first temperature reading was 38.8 degrees, the second was 39.4 degrees, and the headaches and nasal pain still persisted. Now my temperature has dropped to 37.5 degrees, and the doctor said I don’t need to get drips anymore, but my head and nose are still very painful. Is this headache and nasal pain caused by the fever?

Answer

In traditional Chinese medicine, poor digestion may lead to tonsillitis and rhinitis. Symptoms of tonsillitis include dry mouth, sore throat, and the most severe symptom of rhinitis is headache caused by sinusitis and dizziness. In addition to intravenous therapy, oral Chinese medicine can be taken. Moreover, dietary adjustments are also necessary. If medication can relieve the headache, it is recommended to consume light foods regularly, drink more porridge, and intake high-protein foods with less oil and grease, avoiding spicy and extremely cold foods.
