Emergency Department-Precautions for Fever Patients 急診—發燒病人之注意事項

2024/12/4

Pay attention to whether there are other symptoms (persistent neck pain, vomiting, chest pain, wheezing, body rash...), which is more important than temperature.
Remove extra coverings (except when having chills).
Sleep on an ice pillow, water pillow, or take a warm bath. Avoid using alcohol to wipe down the fever.
Air-conditioning can be used in summer, and the room temperature can be maintained at around 22 ~ 26 degrees, but the vent should not be aimed toward patient.
Drink plenty of fluids. Adults can drink 100 cc per hour and take the medicine under doctor΄s order.
Fever-reducing drugs can be used every 4-6 hours if the ear temperature is above 38.5 ℃, and the dosage should be used according to doctor's advice.
If the body temperature drops too low (ear temperature below 36 ℃), stop giving fever reducer, give glucose water or warm water, put on clothes , cover up and send to a doctor immediately.
Those with persistent high fever or convulsions, persistent breathing difficulties, unconsciousness, fever that is more frequent, poor mobility, rashes, red spots or bleeding tendencies, should be immediately sent to a doctor for examination.
