Introduction
A body temperature of 35.5°C, accompanied by headache and nausea, may be caused by hypoglycemia, anemia, gastroenteritis-type cold, or other reasons. A detailed examination at a hospital is necessary to determine the specific cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly. Additionally, it could also result from hypothyroidism; in such cases, medications such as thyroid tablets or levothyroxine sodium tablets may be used under a doctor's guidance.
A body temperature of 35.5°C may be accompanied by headache and nausea, which could result from conditions such as hypoglycemia, anemia, or gastroenteritis-type cold. A detailed medical examination at a hospital is recommended to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
1. Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when various factors lead to reduced blood glucose levels, resulting in insufficient glucose supply to the central nervous system. This often triggers sympathetic nervous system activation. During hypoglycemic episodes, increased hepatic glucose output can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Severe cases may lead to low body temperature, presenting symptoms such as a temperature of 35.5°C, headache, and nausea. Consuming candy or other quick sources of sugar can help restore blood glucose. If necessary, intravenous glucose solution should be administered under medical supervision.
2. Anemia
Picky eating habits may lead to inadequate iron intake, resulting in a lower number of red blood cells in the bloodstream. This impairs oxygen and blood delivery to organs, affecting the body's temperature regulation center and gastrointestinal function, potentially causing symptoms including a body temperature of 35.5°C, headache, and nausea. Including iron-rich foods such as pork liver and lean meat in the diet can help alleviate anemia. When needed, medications such as folic acid or ferrous sulfate tablets may be used under a doctor’s guidance.
3. Gastroenteritis-type Cold
Consuming spoiled food can allow bacteria and viruses to irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to gastrointestinal distress and a gastroenteritis-type cold. This condition may affect the central regulatory nerves, resulting in a body temperature of 35.5°C along with headache and nausea. Treatment may include medications such as rimexolone tablets or ribavirin granules, as directed by a physician.
In addition, these symptoms could also be caused by hypothyroidism. In such cases, medications like thyroid tablets or levothyroxine sodium tablets may be prescribed under medical supervision.
