When the human body temperature is above 37.3°C but below 38°C, the body is in a state of low fever. Generally, there is no need to immediately take medication for low fever. Drinking plenty of water, resting well, and the condition can be controlled after a few hours. However, if the low fever persists and the patient's temperature continues to rise, treatment is necessary. The causes of low fever vary, and the treatment plan will be tailored according to the cause of the disease. What is the degree of low fever? 1. Under normal conditions, the axillary temperature of a person ranges from 36°C to 37°C. If the axillary temperature is between 37.3°C and 38°C, we call it low fever. 2. There are many reasons for low fever, and infectious factors are the most common, among which tuberculosis infection is relatively common. When a patient experiences low fever, fatigue, night sweats, cough, sputum, hemoptysis, and weight loss, we should fully suspect the possibility of tuberculosis infection. How to treat low fever? 1. Infectious diseases, including lung infections, abdominal infections, pleural infections, and joint infections, etc. The infectious pathogens include bacteria, viruses, fungi, atypical pathogens, etc. Among them, low fever caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is the most common, so appropriate anti-infective treatment should be given after a clear diagnosis. 2. Non-infectious diseases, such as absorption fever caused by some connective tissue diseases or tumors, can also lead to low fever. Therefore, if a person has low fever, they should actively identify the cause and treat it according to the symptoms and causes.
