Difference between fever from viral infection and bacterial infection

The difference between viral fever and bacterial fever is that the infecting pathogens are different, the clinical symptoms are different, and the treatment is also different. 1. Different pathogens: viral fever is caused by patients infected with viruses, such as parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, coxsackievirus, adenovirus and so on. Bacterial fever is caused by patients infected with bacterial pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus, or Mycoplasma. 2. Clinical symptoms are different: viral infection fever, generally more obvious symptoms of nasal discharge than the pharynx, may be clear snot, or viscous white snot, can be accompanied by diarrhea or conjunctival congestion, usually without pus sputum. Bacterial fever, generally such as tonsils or pharynx red and swollen, pain is very obvious, and there will be runny nose, green color or yellow pus sputum. 3. Different treatments: viral fever patients need to be treated with antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Bacterial fever patients can be treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and other antibacterial drugs under the guidance of a doctor. When patients have fever symptoms, they need to go to the hospital in time for examination, and under the guidance of the doctor to use symptomatic drugs for treatment. Usually should enhance their own immunity resistance, eat more vegetables and fruits.
