Question
In recent days, I’ve felt unwell, which has affected my work performance. I have trouble sleeping at night and occasionally feel palpitations, worrying that this might impact my health and work. What methods can I use to reduce fever without taking medication?
Answer
In your situation, you can try using alcohol sponge baths to reduce fever, and then further investigate the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors. It is not recommended to rush into using medication without determining the cause. Your symptoms may be caused by a viral infection, for which there is no specific treatment method at present. The main approach is to provide general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine may help alleviate some symptoms of viral diseases and shorten the course of the disease.
