Often, getting a respiratory disease, people do not rush to go to the doctor, because you can buy any effective medication at the drugstore and get treatment at home. But in such cases it is important to know the characteristic symptoms of the disease so as not to confuse it with anything else. For example, you should pay attention to how much the temperature is maintained in ARVI, what is its value, whether there are lesions of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
How many days and what is the temperature for ARVI?
The incubation period of a viral disease is no more than 5 days, and at this time a person can feel completely normal until pathological cells have penetrated into the blood and caused intoxication. With the development of the disease, reproduction of bacteria begins, as a rule, in the maxillary sinuses, lungs, mouth and bronchi. This is accompanied by a sore throat, an uncomfortable sensation in the nose, a mild headache. Over time, clinical manifestations of intoxication with the virus, one of which is an increase in body temperature, are added.
It should be understood that fever or fever is a normal mechanism of immune system reaction to foreign cells in the blood. Most viruses and bacteria die at high temperatures, so the body thus protects itself from the spread of infection.
Intoxication syndrome occurs usually on day 2-3 after the onset of the disease. The heat can reach quite high values (up to 39 degrees), but the process of activation of immunity under consideration is short. With adequate treatment and timely measures taken, the temperature decreases after 1-2 days, reaching normal values. It is worth noting that eliminating the fever with the numbers on the thermometer to 38.5 is undesirable, in order to allow the body to fight the infection on its own.
During further therapy with ARVI, low temperature, up to 37 degrees. This is due to the fact that the patient's blood is saturated with antibodies that do not allow the emergence and progress of inflammatory processes.
After ARI, there is a low-grade fever 37
Cases of complications after a flu are frequent. They are characterized by the presence of symptoms of acute respiratory diseases (bronchitis, otitis media, pneumonia, frontal sinus , sinusitis) and the constant presence of slightly elevated body temperature: 37-37.2.
Such signs, together with a poor state of health of the patient, as well as an increase in lymph nodes , can signal the development of severe health effects or recurrence of chronic upper respiratory tract diseases.
If the subfebrile temperature does not decrease within a week after recovery, it is necessary to consult with the therapist without fail, to do x-ray studies and to give blood for laboratory tests.
Repeated fever in ARVI
Another no less dangerous situation is the re-infection with the virus. It can occur either from family members (neighbors
Repeated increase in body temperature to high values suggests that the body resumed inflammatory processes, and the rapid rapid spread of the virus in the blood began. The problem consists in the possibility of the emergence of resistance of viruses and bacteria to previously conducted treatment, and the medications used will cease to act, therefore the therapy regimen will have to be changed.
