Post-influenza B fever, hypothermia refers to a body temperature lower than normal. Due to the effects of influenza B, the infected person's immune resistance is compromised, leading to decreased body temperature. Therefore, after influenza B infection, a patient’s body temperature may fall below the normal range. Hypothermia can cause symptoms such as physical weakness, increased sweating, and pale skin. Additionally, it may affect the patient's psychological state, thereby impairing recovery and potentially prolonging hospitalization. If a temperature below normal is detected, immediate measures should be taken to administer fluids to help maintain body temperature and improve the patient's condition. Furthermore, timely nutritional support, adequate sleep, increased physical activity, and staying warm can all assist in restoring normal body temperature. Patients must also regularly monitor their temperature and seek medical help promptly if any changes occur.
