Question

After the pulsed radiofrequency ablation of the tonsils, I entered a period of low-grade fever that remains unclear in cause. Past treatment and outcomes: The pulsed radiofrequency ablation procedure resolved the tonsil issue. The question I need help with: The cause and solution for the low-grade fever.

Answer

There are many causes of fever, which can be broadly categorized into four types: First, infectious diseases, including infections caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and rickettsiae, among others. Virtually all infectious diseases can cause fever, such as common cold, AIDS, malaria, meningitis, SARS, etc. Second, fever caused by tumors, particularly in advanced stages. Third, autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus can also cause fever. These are the suggestions for the issue of “unexplained high fever after pulsed radiofrequency ablation of the tonsils.” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
