What is the degree of fever of the new pneumonia?

Novel pneumonia generally refers to the infection of the new coronavirus, and it is inaccurate to say how many degrees of fever it refers to. Infection with the novel coronavirus may result in a low-grade, moderate, or high-grade fever.

1. Low-grade fever

Some patients become asymptomatic infected after being infected with the novel coronavirus, usually without any uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, there is no fever. If there are no other obvious symptoms of discomfort in the body, you can increase the amount of water you drink appropriately, drink more warm water, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples and tomatoes, which can promote metabolism and alleviate the condition to a certain extent.

2. Moderate fever

If the body temperature exceeds 37.2°C and is accompanied by symptoms such as dry cough and sore throat, it is considered a moderate fever. At this time, you can improve by wiping your body with a wet towel, or you can follow the doctor's instructions to use ibuprofen extended-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets and other drugs for treatment.

3. High fever

If the body temperature continues to rise more than 38.5°C, and it is accompanied by severe coughing, chest tightness, etc., it may be caused by a bacterial infection in the body, and at this time, you can take amoxicillin granules, cefixime granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition, it may be related to severe novel coronavirus infection, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
