how to treat fever in jaundice - #24782
I am really worried right now. Last week my uncle started having these chills and this crazy high temperature, like over 102°F, but he's also been dealing with jaundice for the past few weeks. He’s had some tests done and the doctors say he has some liver issues, and I can't really understand everything, but it seems serious. I just don’t know how to treat fever in jaundice, like is it even safe to give him fever reducers? I mean, paracetamol is what we usually use for fevers but I heard that can affect the liver?? Also, with the jaundice thing, he hasn’t been eating much and is super fatigued. How do we balance the treatment for the fever while also being cautious about his liver health? Plus, he gets sooo sweaty and then chills, like how does that even work? Is there something different we should consider when looking up how to treat fever in jaundice? Any advice would really help us right now, just feeling a bit lost with all the info we’re getting! It’s like one doc says one thing, another says something else. How to treat fever in jaundice properly and what should we be looking out for? Any dos and don'ts would be amazing!
