What should cancer patients do if they have a fever?

Cancer patients are often plagued by diseases, leading to physical weakness, or decreased immunity after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which easily leads to infection of various microorganisms, especially bacteria, and fever. In addition, some tumors themselves can also cause fever. De Kunyao medical experts suggest that cancer patients with fever should prepare a thermometer for everyone to monitor their body temperature at any time.

1) Pay attention to rest, which can reduce energy consumption and is conducive to physical recovery;

2) Oral care: During high fever, bacteria are easy to breed in the mouth. If you don't pay attention to oral cleaning, it is easy to have stomatitis and even oral ulcers. The mouthwash prepared in our hospital is beneficial to inhibit the production of bacteria.

3) Skin care for cancer patients with fever: the middle layer sweats heavily, and the nursing staff should help the patients dry their bodies in time and change clean clothes and bedding to prevent bedsores and colds;

4) Increase high-protein diet and water supplement, such as eggs, milk, soup, salt water and lean meat.

5) For patients with moderate and low fever, we can change the environment, temperature, clothing and bedding thickness and suggest drinking cold drinks to reduce body temperature and promote comfort;

6) For patients with high fever, alcohol bath and ice pack are often used to cool down, and drugs can be used to cool down when necessary.

Dr. De Kunyao's understanding of the etiology, pathology and symptoms of fever in tumor patients;

It is inevitable that people will suffer from one disease or another in their life. Why do people get sick? What factors can cause diseases? What pathological changes will happen to human body function after the onset? This series of problems is a common concern of people, and it is also the focus of all kinds of medicine at home and abroad, and Yao medicine is no exception. The emergence and development of Yao medicine developed with the reproduction of Yao nationality. Yao people live in the south of Wuling, winding in the west of Lingxi, facing the seashore in the south, located in the subtropical zone, with abundant rainfall. This special geographical and climatic environment has created the unique theory of Yao medicine.

Yao doctors believe that the human body is a unified organic whole. Organs and tissues such as viscera, tendons, flesh and blood in the human body have different physiological functions, which are all completed under the unified coordination of the whole human body. Different organs and tissues are interrelated, interdependent, influenced and maintained together. But human beings live in nature, and nature is a necessary condition for human survival. Movement changes in nature often cause physiological or pathological changes in human body.

The inside of the human body is a unified internal environment, and the human body and the external environment (nature) form a unified whole. Under the influence of the external environment, the internal environment of the human body is in the process of constantly generating contradictions and constantly solving contradictions, maintaining a relatively dynamic balance, thus maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body, that is, the human body is in a healthy state. If this dynamic balance is destroyed due to some factors, and the body can't adjust itself quickly to restore balance, it will form lesions in the body and lead to diseases.

The disease caused by destroying the relative balance of human profit and loss is the cause. Through long-term and large-scale medical practice, the Yao people have made a profound analysis of the pathogenic factors and think that the pathogenic factors are various. There are meteorological factors from nature, such as cold, heat, wind, humidity and other meteorological anomalies; There are infectious factors, such as miasma, epidemic virus, poison, etc. There are psychological factors, such as mental stimulation; There are life factors, such as diet, fatigue and room work; Physical trauma factors, such as falls, burns, scalds, gold blade injuries, insect and animal injuries, can all lead to diseases. In addition, in the process of the occurrence and development of diseases, causes and results often interact, and the results of one pathological stage become the causes of another pathological stage, such as tuberculosis, phlegm, toxin and blood stasis, which in turn act on the body and become secondary causes.

Then what is pathology? In short, the mechanism of disease occurrence, development, change and prognosis is pathology. Every disease has its own unique pathology. Even for the same disease, there are differences in pathology due to the different constitutions of patients. Therefore, it can be said that the pathology of the disease is complex and changeable, but it is not without rules to follow. In other words, no matter what disease, it must be composed of the most basic pathology. Mastering these basic pathologies means mastering the most fundamental methods of studying diseases.

There are many kinds of diseases, and each disease is different from other diseases because it has different and specific symptoms and signs. A disease contains many symptoms, and the same symptom can be manifested in different diseases. Generally speaking, the concept of disease is greater than the concept of symptoms, but it should be pointed out that Yao doctors believe that the concept of disease covers a wider range than that of disease, which is the unique place for Yao doctors to understand the relationship between disease and disease.

Yao medicine adheres to the principle of seeking special prescription in treating tumor fever!

The special prescription for treatment is based on the differentiation of diseases, and the corresponding fixed main prescription is applied for diagnosis and treatment according to the difference of diseases. Yao's treatment of diseases pays attention to the basic laws of disease changes and to finding the main prescription of each disease, that is, one disease and one main prescription, so as to better approach the essence of diseases.

The so-called disease usually refers to the diagnostic concept of abnormal changes in human function or morphology or pathological morphology. Any disease has its own development law and the general outline of disease evolution, and there are certain rules to follow in treatment, that is, each disease has its basic etiology, pathogenesis, changing law, main treatment methods and special treatment drugs. Therefore, the first thing Yao doctors emphasize in the treatment process is to distinguish diseases, that is, to treat diseases with special prescriptions, which runs through the whole treatment process without paying attention to changing prescriptions. If there are different syndromes in the treatment process, add and subtract flexibly on the basis of the main prescription. Seeking special prescription treatment is a high generalization and summary of the objective laws in Yao medical practice and a sublimation of Yao medical clinical treatment experience. The prescription of treating harmony and seeking is tested by long-term medical practice and embodies the universal law.

At present, TCM strongly advocates syndrome differentiation and treatment, but there are many uncertain factors in syndrome differentiation and treatment itself, which are ambiguous and random, easily disturbed by illusions and influenced by subjective factors. Syndrome differentiation and treatment focus on the overall understanding of a certain stage of the disease, focusing on the functional state of each sick individual and the differences in their environment. For example, in the process of the occurrence and development of diseases, the clinical manifestations are varied and the priorities of diseases are different. In addition, the four seasons climate, geographical environment and physical factors will have different effects on the changes of diseases. However, these factors can often cover up the inherent pathological changes of the disease. In some cases, although the symptoms of the disease can be alleviated, alleviated or even disappeared after treatment, it may not really eradicate the disease. This makes the treatment based on syndrome differentiation more limited in many cases.

Compared with treatment based on syndrome differentiation, the advantages of treating diseases based on syndrome differentiation and seeking specialized prescriptions are self-evident. First of all, the treatment of specific prescriptions is helpful to improve the clinical efficacy. Treating diseases with proven and effective prescriptions can reduce blindness in clinical work and ensure curative effect. Secondly, seeking a special prescription for treatment will also help to improve the technical level of doctors and avoid the phenomenon that some people try drugs with others without fixed opinions. Now many doctors only remember a few prescriptions and choose a few fashionable drugs. No matter what illness or symptoms they have, they always use it as a way to shirk their responsibilities and occasionally get results, thinking that they have succeeded. Is not invalid or death, but also due to illness (on the origin of medicine? This kind of blind behavior is not helpful to the improvement of medical technology, which leads to doctors' lifelong diagnosis confusion.

But at the same time, we should also see that Yao medicine itself still has many shortcomings. Traditional Yao medicine mainly relies on looking, smelling, asking and touching to diagnose diseases. Due to the limitation of methods, the depth and breadth of understanding of diseases will be limited. Some diseases have organic lesions in the early stage, but they are hidden and unknown, thus losing the opportunity of early treatment. Therefore, we should inherit the existing experience, combine the disease view of modern medicine, absorb the modern advanced physical and chemical examination methods, broaden the diagnostic vision, reveal the internal laws that run through diseases from the perspective of Yao medicine, and promote the expertise of Yao medicine in treating specific diseases to better improve the clinical efficacy.
