Fever after quitting alcohol is often a result of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which is a neurological discomfort caused by the sudden lifting of the neurological dependence caused by the patient’s usual excessive alcohol consumption.
If the patient is addicted to alcohol on weekdays, the nerve cells are adapted to the operating state of the alcohol environment, and because of chronic alcoholism patients with nerve cell damage, if you stop alcohol intake, the damaged nerve cells will not adapt to the environment to trigger a series of disorders. At the same time, nerve cells are subjected to long-term inhibition, if the inhibition contact, the body will appear excessive activation of nerve cells.
Generally speaking, fever after quitting alcohol is different from ordinary infectious fever. Fever after quitting alcohol is usually ordinary fever, which is caused by the relative over-activation of the sympathetic nerves that are released from inhibition.
Since the skin and other blood vessels of the body are innervated by them, sympathetic excitation generally causes the peripheral arteries to constrict, thus raising the body temperature. Meanwhile dizziness symptoms due to other nerve excitations can easily be recognized as fever.
Patients should also follow the physician’s instructions for scientific abstinence from alcohol, and should go to the hospital in time if fever and other uncomfortable symptoms occur.
