Hello friends: A variety of diseases can cause low-grade fever. Fever is a symptom that diseases such as rheumatism, tuberculosis, chronic inflammation, and low immunity can cause persistent low-grade fever; Long-term psychological stress and emotional instability can also cause disorders in the body temperature center, resulting in unexplained persistent low-grade fever.

Problems with any of the body's systems can cause a persistent low-grade fever. The cause of low-grade fever is difficult to detect through routine tests such as blood, urine, and stool, and some low-grade fever caused by bacterial infections can only be detected through bacterial culture.

Unknown low-grade fever should not be abused. Fever is one of the body's reactions to the invasion of disease. Patients with low-grade fever take antipyretics, which is not conducive to the disease**.

Indiscriminate use of antipyretics can also lead to a decrease in white blood cells and aplastic anemia. Antipyretics should only be considered if the temperature is above 38.

Persistent low-grade fever should be treated as soon as possible, and a thorough examination should be done as soon as possible. Some symptoms of early malignancy or early bacterial infection are also low-grade fever. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to avoid the worsening of the fever**.

Many conditions can cause low-grade fever, and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, and only according to the condition can the symptoms be treated**.

1. In the theory of meridian flow in traditional Chinese medicine, at five or six o'clock in the evening, it belongs to the time when qi and blood flow into the kidney meridian, if it is a continuous low-grade fever during this time period, it is usually related to the kidney, such as kidney deficiency.

2. The situation that children continue to have a low-grade fever at night generally appears at about 11 o'clock in the evening, which is what Chinese medicine says"A yang is born"The meaning is that the body's yang energy will gradually become vigorous from 11 o'clock, and the body's ability to resist disease will be enhanced, and fever is the manifestation of the body's immune system activation.

3. During the day, the cerebral cortex is attracted to daily affairs, which can temporarily inhibit other reactions, such as low-grade fever. And at night, especially after falling asleep, people's brains are in a state of resting inhibition, which will allow the reactions that were suppressed during the day to manifest, and then the symptoms of fever appear.

Western medicine believes that there are two categories of low-grade fever: infectious low-grade fever and non-infectious low-grade fever, and the general routine examination of infectious low-grade fever can detect the infection focus.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that external evil invades the human body, and the conflict between good and evil can cause fever, fatigue from eating, emotional depression, food, phlegm drinking, blood congestion, etc., which can cause heat to stay for a long time; Deficiency of qi and blood, yin and yang, dysfunction, loss of qi and blood, yin and yang can cause low-grade fever, and a few of them start from external sensations, and long-term illness leads to low-grade fever caused by deficiency of visceral function.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a careful examination to see if you can detect the infection lesions, if you can detect the infection lesions, you can treat the symptoms**, so that the medicine can eliminate the disease; If the infection cannot be detected, it should not be an infectious low-grade fever, and an experienced TCM practitioner should be carefully examined to see what is causing the low-grade fever, so that the disease can be cured.

Go to the hospital to have a look, get a blood test, some of the causes of the disease are very complicated, go quickly!

If the patient has a low-grade fever at night, it may be caused by infection, generally because of the virus or infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis caused by low-grade fever, for such patients, first of all, we must give relevant auxiliary examinations, which can be done through blood routine, C-reactive protein and tuberculosis infection test, such as PPD, sputum culture test to see if there is tuberculosis infection.

For patients who have low-grade fever at night, the first thing to do is to find out the predisposing factors, generally according to the clinical manifestations and related auxiliary examinations, that is, some of the predisposing factors that cause low-grade fever can be found. First of all, if the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, no special treatment is generally done, and the patient is generally instructed to drink more water, eat some fruits or vegetables to clear heat and detoxify, and the general body temperature can return to normal. The causes of low-grade fever at night can be divided into the following three categories:

1. Infectious fever, such as bacterial infection, viral infection, fungal infection and atypical pathogens, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia infection, etc. During this infection, the body will be invaded by various immune microorganisms, and provoke antigen and antibody reactions in the body to expel pathogenic microorganisms, and episodic low-grade fever will occur when pathogenic microorganisms are excreted from the body, especially at night, common pyelonephritis, gastroenteritis, peritonitis, etc. 2. Some non-infectious inflammatory reactions, such as connective tissue diseases, immune diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatism, rheumatoid disease, dermatomyositis and other diseases, will also cause low-grade fever at night.

3. Endocrine diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and adrenal cortex, are also prone to low-grade fever at night.

If you have a low-grade fever at night, you need to drink plenty of water and rest more first. Secondly, you can use the method of physical cooling or take Chinese medicine to reduce fever, and the Chinese medicine includes cold and heat clearing granules, soy Qiao Qingre granules or antelope horn granules, which are also good for reducing low fever. There are many ways to physically cool down, if the hands and feet are not cold and they feel better, you can use ice, such as applying a cold towel to the forehead and changing it every 5-10 minutes; You can also use a warm towel to wipe the patient's whole body**, especially in the armpits, groin, and neck where the large blood vessels are rich, and the wiping time can be slightly longer.

If you put antipyretic patches on the body, it can also relieve the discomfort caused by low-grade fever, and you can put antipyretic patches on the patient's forehead, neck, back, palms and soles, and the fever reduction effect is also good. There are many diseases that cause fever, some can be manifested as low-grade fever, some can be manifested as high fever, and some patients will be accompanied by other symptoms, such as cough, sputum production, chest pain, chills, chills, headache, etc., then if you have a low-grade fever at night, you should consider the possibility of the following diseases:

First of all, the first one should be considered is the possibility of tuberculosis infection, including pulmonary tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the joint cavity or tuberculosis in the intestine or tuberculosis in other parts, etc., the patient can manifest as low-grade fever, night sweats, weight loss, etc., so relevant examinations should be carried out to further clarify.

Second, attention should be paid to infections with other pathogens, including specific types of bacteria or atypical pathogens such as chlamydia and mycoplasma.

Third, relevant tests should be performed to clearly rule out whether the patient has a low-grade fever caused by connective tissue disease or tumor. If there is no organic disease, it is recommended to see a Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment, if not, please cancel it, it is more suitable for you to see a Chinese medicine doctor in this situation, it is best to have a face-to-face consultation, at least give you a suggestion. First, the patient has an infectious disease.

These include infections of the upper respiratory tract, trachea or bronchi, lungs, pleural space, etc. However, if you have a low-grade fever at night, you should consider that tuberculosis is more likely, and relevant examinations should be performed to further confirm the diagnosis, including CT of the chest and monitoring of various inflammatory indicators.

Second, non-infectious diseases. For example, some special types of diseases, connective tissue diseases or tumor absorption heat, etc., can also cause low-grade fever at night. Therefore, if there is a low-grade fever at night, you should actively look for ** and give ** for **.
