Question
I had a high fever of 39 degrees and went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for a check-up. The doctor didn’t recommend intravenous drip treatment and prescribed cold medicine granules and azithromycin tablets. I vomited an hour after taking the medicine.
Answer
Based on your description, the initial consideration is that the high fever is caused by a cold. Conduct a detailed examination and actively treat after diagnosis. Pay attention to diet, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid adverse effects. Vitamin C can be taken, as colds are often caused by viruses. Early use of antiviral drugs such as virazole and viralin is recommended. If vomiting is present and it’s difficult to take medication, timely intravenous fluid therapy is required.
