Question
After the fever subsides, my body temperature rises again. I am 36 years old, and I occasionally have dizziness during the day, which affects my work. At night, I have trouble sleeping, and the medication I take is not effective. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, if the fever persists or subsides and then rises again, this is a typical symptom of influenza, caused by viral infection. Initially, it is a viral infection, but later it may be accompanied by bacterial infection, known as a composite infection. Early oral antiviral drugs can be taken, especially Chinese herbal medicine which has better effects than Western medicine. Symptomatic treatment should also be administered, and fever reduction may be necessary if required.
