What happens to fever and cough after the flu has subsided

There are many reasons why the flu fever has subsided and then the fever and cough are as follows:

1. Infected with a cold again

If fever and cough occur after the flu has subsided, it may be that the patient's immunity is still at a relatively low level in the early stage of recovery, and reinfection occurs, and symptomatic treatment should be actively pursued.

2. Complications

Influenza can have respiratory and neurological complications. Patients may have fever and cough due to complications, and should be examined for complications such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and myocarditis, and the treatment plan should be refined.

3. The impact of the virus is not controlled

If the pathogen does not disappear completely, it will also lead to fever and cough after the fever subsides, and the virus will invade again during the recovery period of the body's immunity, which will lead to recurrence. Patients may be given antibiotics and symptomatic treatment.

4. Mycoplasma infection

Mycoplasma infection in the early stages of recovery can lead to fever and cough followed by influenza fever, which usually causes pneumonia and causes symptoms such as fever, cough, and runny nose, and patients can be treated with macrolide or quinolone antibiotics.
