Many people have a fever. Should they take antipyretics? It's a dilemma not to eat for fear of "burning the brain" and to eat for fear of taking drugs to destroy immunity! What should you do for the first time when you have a fever? And listen to what professional Chinese medicine practitioners say!

Can a fever burn your brain? Indiscriminate fever can easily reduce human immunity.

Dr. Lai Ruixin said that in the past, the older generation used to say, "A fever will burn your brain." , is not entirely correct. In fact, only encephalitis, meningitis, or other serious brain infections, such as malignant hyperthermia above 40℃, will damage nerve tissue. The common cold and fever is the body's self-protection immune response and will not damage the brain.

Therefore, for ordinary people who have a cold and fever, if the fever is quickly reduced by abusing drugs at this time, it will be a challenge to the body's own immunity, and there may be doubts about destroying the immune mechanism and reducing immunity. Therefore, except for encephalitis, meningitis or other malignant high fever above 40℃, it is generally not recommended to use western medicine or intravenous drip to quickly reduce fever.

In particular, children's mechanism of drug metabolism is not as good as that of adults. Once people choose the wrong drug type or use the wrong dose when buying antipyretics in general pharmacies and pharmacies, I am afraid there will be risks of drug allergy, dizziness, Raynaud's disease and liver and kidney function damage, and its seriousness should not be underestimated!
