Since April this year, they have been suffering from continuous high fevers.
Answer
It is recommended to conduct blood immune function tests (cellular immunity and humoral immunity) and trace element tests. If cellular immune deficiency is found, treatments such as thymosin, transfer factor, nucleic acid syrup, Campral syrup, levamisole, or interferon can be used. If humoral immune deficiency is found, intravenous immunoglobulin or placental globulin, Fengerxin, or placental lipopolysaccharide can be used. If deficiencies in trace elements such as zinc, iron, and calcium are found, they should be supplemented accordingly. Additionally, exposing oneself to more sunlight can also contribute to health.
