Under the epidemic situation, what to do once fever symptoms appear is the most concerned issue for the public? What is the temperature that is medically recognized as a fever? Once you have a fever, do you choose "hard resistance" or go to the hospital's fever clinic at the first time? Can going to the hospital lead to cross infection? What preparations do you need to make before you go?

If it's just a common cold, it may be over in a few days. But if the fever lasts for 40 degrees, it may affect the brain.

How to measure body temperature is a seemingly simple question, but have you done it right?
When measuring body temperature, please pay attention to the following:
Is it that the higher the temperature, the more serious the illness is, and the low fever is hard to resist?
Some common respiratory tract infections may have high fever, and tuberculosis, tumor and endocarditis may also have low fever. Therefore, in addition to the temperature, we need to look at our own symptoms and comprehensively judge what causes the fever.
First of all, rule out whether you have a history of contact with Wu Hanyou, and whether you have had contact with confirmed or suspected patients in COVID-19. If you have a history of contact, or you don't know the history of contact, and you have fever symptoms, you must seek medical attention in time.
If you have no epidemiological history, your fever may be caused by the following infections:
Upper respiratory tract infection: runny nose, sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat.
Lower respiratory tract infection: cough, expectoration, chest tightness and dyspnea.
Gastrointestinal infection: diarrhea, stomachache and frequent defecation.
Urinary tract infection: frequent urination, urgency and dysuria.
If it's just a common fever, what should I do at home?
Experts suggest that you can take antipyretics when your body temperature is above 38.5 degrees; Physical cooling can be taken below 38.5 degrees.
What kind of fever needs urgent medical attention?
▼ When the body temperature continues to drop above 39 degrees, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills,
▼ Symptoms related to COVID-19, such as fever, fatigue, wheezing, chest tightness and dyspnea, appear.
At present, there are 104 fever clinics in Beijing and 20 designated hospitals in novel coronavirus. If you have symptoms such as the above two conditions, it is recommended that you seek medical attention in time during this special period.
What should I pay attention to when going to a fever clinic? We divide it into three steps:
Before seeing a doctor: wear a mask and gloves. If you are really uncomfortable, you can wear a hat and shoe covers, carry your personal identification and previous prescription with you, and bring a spare bag if you vomit.
In the hospital: with antibacterial hand gel and alcohol cotton pad, the doctor can scrub it after seeing it.
After returning home: wash your hands after returning home, hang your clothes in a ventilated place and ventilate your home for half an hour. Throw away the masks, gloves and shoe covers brought back from the hospital in a closed plastic bag.
