A member asked:
Aside from prescribing medications, how might a hospital treat a person who has had a high fever for several days? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supportive measures: Medicines can help, particularly antibiotics for infections. In the context of severe illness part of the rationale for hospitalization is to observe and increase the level of care in response to acuity. Additionally, in some situations cooling measures may be appropriate. Stay safe!
