What to do if you have a fever caused by an inflammatory cough

In the case of fever caused by coughing and inflammation, it is necessary to complete relevant tests, such as routine blood tests, sputum culture, blood culture, chest X-ray, etc., to clarify the extent of infection and the location of the infection. Patients with cough and fever caused by acute upper respiratory tract infection are usually advised to take rest, drink more water, avoid getting cold again, and take oral cold medication and antipyretic medication if necessary. If the presence of lower respiratory tract infection is detected by chest X-ray or CT examination, sensitive anti-infective drugs should be selected for treatment, together with symptomatic treatment with expectorant, cough suppressant and antipyretic drugs, but attention should also be paid to the presence of tuberculosis.
