  Sleep hygiene When we were young, our parents were very conscious about our sleep. They never let us stay up at night to do anything, including studying, they used to say – “There is no alternative to healthy sleep - to lead a healthy life . If we do not sleep properly, our head will not be well, which means the brain will not function properly. If the brain does not function properly, it means that the day is wasted”.  God has also designated night for rest and day for work.  But unfortunately, in the present era of extreme modernity, people have turned day into night – and night into day, we see every where!!   Desire is - I went to sleep, again - spent a few days without sleeping. Or having to take sleeping pills because you can't sleep, going to bed late, so getting up late the next day - none of this is healthy. It is not right to become dependent on sleeping pills because you are not sleeping. Said the expert - There is no substitute for adequate sleep t...

Problem - Fever for a long time?

Problem - Fever for a long time?

Although the severity of Corona is not that great now, our fear has not gone away yet. Whenever we have a fever, we first think of Corona. Just as the patient himself is afraid, everyone around him, including the family, becomes suspicious. A similar incident happened with my house helper.

Later, we reassure ourselves - it is not Corona when we have a fever. Even then, awareness of some fevers is important. There is no substitute for awareness for a healthy life.

Fever for a long time has not completely subsided even with medication. After being somewhat better for a few days, the fever comes again. Nothing is detected in the health tests. If someone has this, it is quite a matter of concern. Not only from the patient's side, but prolonged fever for unknown reasons is also a big headache for doctors.

Experts say that if a fever of more than 38 degrees Celsius persists for more than three weeks and nothing is found in the initial tests, it is called pyrexia of unknown origin or PUO (unknown cause). In these cases, doctors think of a rare disease.

If the fever does not go away for a long time, it is also important to help the patient find the exact cause.

What to do? - Doctor advises ---

1)    It is important to know first whether there is a fever or not. Many times, many people assume that fever is a feeling of fever, a feeling of chills or a cold. So first, you should measure the fever with a thermometer at home. If the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius - or 101 degrees Fahrenheit, there is nothing to worry about.

2)    In most cases, the cause of fever is infection. And infection can be caused by various types of germs. Many people take antibiotics without diagnosing any disease in the beginning. Some also give it up midway. Due to the use of antibiotics in unreasonable and wrong doses and duration, the germs may become weak and may not be completely eliminated.

3)    Then - if there is a fever again, nothing can be found by testing or culture. So, if there is a fever, there is no need to take medicine without understanding it in the initial stage. Common viral fever or cold and cough do not last more than five days. Therefore, antibiotics should not be taken without any reason for the first five to seven days.

4)    In 30 percent of cases of unknown fever, the cause is a rare or 'uncommon' infection. Malaria, kala-azar, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, melioidosis, abscess or pus in any organ inside the body, heart valve infection, fungus, HIV infection, etc. are not easily detected. Sometimes, recurrent urinary or sinus infections are also responsible.

5)    In 70 percent of cases, the cause of such long-term fever is something more complex than infection. For example: lymphoma and various types of cancer, vasculitis, lupus, sarcoidosis, etc. Sometimes fever can also occur as a reaction to medication. 

Don't panic - awareness is essential – to lead a healthy life. If you seek medical help, you will definitely find a solution to the problem.
