Patients with fever may experience constipation.
Patients with fever, especially those with fever caused by intestinal diseases (e.g. intestinal tuberculosis), will experience a decrease in the secretion of digestive enzymes, a slowdown in gastrointestinal peristalsis, and a decrease in gastrointestinal water, all of which can cause constipation. It is recommended to replenish fluids appropriately and eat more vegetables and fruits and other coarse fiber foods to help relieve symptoms.
Fever caused by tumor can also cause constipation due to poor body function, slow peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and narrowing of intestinal tract. Appropriate drinking of warm water, eating more vegetables and fruits, abdominal massage can help to reduce the symptoms, and active treatment should be carried out to address the cause of the disease at the same time.
Fever patients with constipation should promptly go to a specialized hospital, under the guidance of the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and active treatment.
