How to deal with high fever for three consecutive days?
High fever is a common disease symptom. If you have a high fever for three consecutive days, you need to take timely measures. This article will elaborate on the following four aspects.
Maintain adequate fluid intake
During a high fever, you are more likely to sweat, and your body will consume too much water, leading to dehydration. Therefore, maintaining adequate fluid intake is particularly important. You can drink water, boiled water, mineral water, juice, etc. You can also eat fruits and vegetables with high water content in moderation, such as watermelon, cucumber, celery, etc.
In addition, if the high fever is accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms for three consecutive days, nutrients such as electrolytes and glucose need to be appropriately supplemented according to the condition.
Control body temperature
High fever for three consecutive days will put a considerable burden on the body, especially the heart, lungs and other organs. Therefore, timely measures should be taken to control body temperature. You can use physical cooling methods, such as wiping cold water, applying ice towels to your forehead, etc. You can also use drugs to cool down, such as antipyretics, cold medicines, etc.
But be careful not to abuse antipyretics. Although antipyretics can help us cool down quickly, long-term abuse may have side effects and cause damage to the liver and kidneys.
Adjust your diet
During three consecutive days of high fever, the body\’s immunity is poor and it is easy to be infected by bacteria and viruses, so it is necessary to pay attention to adjusting the diet structure. You can eat more foods with high protein and moderate calories, such as chicken, fish, eggs, etc., and avoid eating high-calorie, high-fat and other harmful foods, such as barbecue, spicy foods, fried foods, etc.
At the same time, you can consume some beneficial Chinese medicinal materials and ingredients according to your personal taste, such as wolfberry, ginger, garlic, millet porridge, etc., to help relieve the condition.
Actively treat the cause
A high fever for three consecutive days can be a symptom of a variety of illnesses, so the cause needs to be aggressively treated. If the high fever is accompanied by other symptoms, such as cough, chest tightness, fatigue, etc., you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to find the cause and take corresponding treatment measures.
At the same time, you should pay attention to physical exercise and enhance your own immunity, such as through exercise, healthy diet, etc., to make your body healthier.
Summary
High fever for three consecutive days is a relatively serious symptom that requires sufficient attention. A variety of measures can be taken to alleviate the condition, such as adequate fluid intake, controlling body temperature, adjusting diet, and actively treating the cause.
