Cool down

Introduction Body temperature is one of the most important life characteristics of human beings. It will fluctuate within a certain range with 24 hours and nights, not constant. Methods for measuring body temperature generally include oral temperature, axillary temperature, and anal temperature, and measurement of axillary and oral temperature is more common. The body temperature of a normal person is generally 36.6 ° C -37.4 ° C. If someone's temperature fluctuates at 37.4 ° C -38.3 ° C, it can be called low heat. Long-term low fever often indicates that the body may have some problems, which will cause consumptive exhaustion, need to attract attention, and need to see a doctor in time.

Body temperature measurement

If someone has a daily mouth temperature of 37.5 ° C to 38.3 ° C and a temperature of 37.4 ° C to 38.3 ° C, and it does not retreat for more than 3 weeks, it can be called "long-term low fever". Long-term low fever often indicates that the body may have some problems, need to pay attention, and need to do relevant checks in time, such as: blood routine, urine routine, tuberculin test, sputum bacterial culture, chest X-ray film and other examinations.

Differential diagnosis

1, infectious low fever. This is the most common in life, accounting for about 40%, and in all infectious low fever, tuberculosis is the most infected. Tuberculosis infection is characterized by low fever in the afternoon, and may be accompanied by coughing, fatigue, sweating at night or after waking up. Long-term hypothermia caused by chronic biliary infection, chronic pyelonephritis, chronic urinary tract infection, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic otitis media, chronic sinusitis, AIDS, subacute endocarditis and viruses are also common. Followed by non-infectious fever, including hyperthyroidism, rheumatic fever, lupus erythematosus, blood disease, tumor, drug fever, etc., again functional fever. More common in young women and infants under the age of 3, mainly in the morning with fever, may also be accompanied by sweating, hand tremors, insomnia, fatigue and do not want to eat. Chinese medicine believes that exogenous evils invade the human body, and the fight between right and wrong can cause fever. Diet fatigue, emotional stagnation, food, sipping, blood stasis, etc. can not stay for a long time, leading to dysfunction of viscera, loss of qi and blood, yin and yang disorders, can cause fever; gas, blood, yin, yang deficiency can cause fever . In the case of this disease, the general internal injury is more than the external feeling.

2, functional hypothermia is caused by non-organic diseases caused by low fever. It is characterized by morning and afternoon body temperature higher than afternoon and evening, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as excessive sweating, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

The cause of functional hypothermia may be related to thermoregulatory central dysfunction or autonomic dysfunction. Such hypothermia includes primary hypothermia (physical hypothermia), summer heat, and low fever after infection. In the diagnosis of functional hypothermia, organic diseases must be completely ruled out, and after a period of dynamic observation, it can be determined that blind diagnosis should not be made without any examination. The use of antipyretics in children with functional hypothermia is generally ineffective. According to the clinical symptoms of the child, appropriate Chinese medicine treatment can be used. Generally use more traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing yin and clearing heat, such as raw land, paeonol, anemarrhena, artemisia, armor, earth bone, sand ginseng, and yam. Some children with functional hypothermia are naturally relieved after a period of time without special treatment.

3. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a group of symptomatic groups characterized by chronic or recurrent fatigue accompanied by hypothermia, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, joint pain and neuropsychiatric symptoms. . In recent years, its incidence has shown an upward trend.

4, scarlet fever is caused by (B) type A group of hemolytic streptococcus caused by acute respiratory infections, can also cause tonsillitis, erysipelas, rheumatic fever, endocarditis and local infections. Clinically characterized by fever, angina, diffuse scarlet rash, and rash back skin desquamation. A small number of people may develop allergic heart and kidney complications after the disease.
