Introduction
Antipyretic injection refers to a fever-reducing shot, and high fever means elevated body temperature. In general, if high fever persists after receiving an antipyretic injection, symptoms can be alleviated through measures such as rehydration, rest, physical cooling, oral medications, and seeking medical advice. Patients should first ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. If the above measures prove ineffective, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for consultation; doctors can then provide appropriate treatment.
Febrile injection refers to antipyretic injection, and high fever means hyperthermia. Generally speaking, if a patient still has high fever after receiving an antipyretic injection, symptoms can be alleviated through methods such as rehydration, rest, physical cooling, oral medication, and medical consultation. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Rehydration: During high fever, the body loses a large amount of fluid. Patients should ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
2. Rest: In such cases, patients should get sufficient rest to help the body combat infection or illness.
3. Physical cooling: Apply physical cooling measures, such as wiping the body with lukewarm water or maintaining a comfortable environment in a warm room, to help reduce body temperature. Avoid soaking in cold water or applying ice directly to the skin, as this may cause too rapid a drop in body temperature.
4. Oral medication: Under a doctor's guidance, oral antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen tablets or acetaminophen tablets may be used, following medical advice strictly.
5. Medical consultation: If the above measures prove ineffective, it is recommended to seek timely medical consultation at a hospital, where doctors can implement appropriate treatments.
If the condition persists or worsens, or is accompanied by other severe symptoms, consult a healthcare professional as early as possible.
