Question
Last Monday, I suddenly developed a fever, followed by diarrhea and abdominal pain. After taking some huanglian powder, the condition improved. But last night, the fever rose to over 39 degrees again, and the antipyretics did not reduce it. This morning, after taking some huoxiang zhengqi capsules, the fever was again over 39 degrees, and it dropped to 38 degrees after taking the antipyretic.
Answer
It’s likely still due to inflammation. It’s still recommended to start with antipyretic treatment. You can first go to the nearest clinic for an antipyretic injection and see if it helps. Then, continue with oral huanglian powder and add some norfloxacin capsules. The doctor can also include some anti-inflammatory medication during the injection.
