Long-term fever requires immediate medical attention, say experts

Health experts are urging vigilance as cases of prolonged fever grip communities amidst seasonal infections. According to medical professionals, a fever persisting for more than 24 hours should not be taken lightly, as it may indicate underlying health concerns. This caution comes amidst a surge in viral infections and seasonal illnesses across the region.

Dr. Rajesh Kumar, a leading infectious disease specialist, emphasized the importance of monitoring fever closely, particularly during the current season. “Fever is often the body’s natural response to infections. However, if it persists beyond a day, it could signal a more serious issue requiring medical attention,” he stated.

Recent reports from healthcare facilities highlight an increase in patients presenting with prolonged fever, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, and respiratory discomfort. Doctors advise individuals experiencing persistent fever to consult healthcare providers promptly to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

In response to the heightened concern, local health authorities are emphasizing preventive measures, including vaccination against prevalent infections and maintaining hygiene practices. They recommend staying hydrated, getting adequate rest, and seeking medical advice promptly if symptoms worsen or persist beyond typical recovery periods.

As the region navigates through a challenging phase of seasonal infections, health experts stress the importance of early detection and prompt medical intervention to mitigate the spread and impact of illnesses associated with prolonged fever.
