Misconceptions about seeing a doctor: fever is inflammation?

  In my experience, one of the major misconceptions of the people is that a fever is an inflammatory condition and that they need to be anti-inflammatory and take anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, it is not. From the perspective of Western medicine, many fevers are caused by viruses, such viruses cause fever anti-inflammatory drugs are ineffective, such as the cold, Western doctors have repeatedly said that the cold to take anti-inflammatory drugs is ineffective. I want to say the first point is: fever first understand the cause, do not rush to eat anti-inflammatory drugs.  The most common clinical fever is nothing but viral infection and bacterial infection, want to identify is very easy, as long as the routine blood, white blood cells higher than 10,000 is more bacterial infection, white blood cells below 10,000 is more viral infection. If you are not high in white blood cells, you should not eat anti-inflammatory drugs, eat not only ineffective, but also may delay the disease and aggravate it.
