I have a low-grade fever at night

Fever is a disease characterized by elevated body temperature. Generally, when there is inflammation in the body, the body temperature will automatically rise as a self-protection measure. Some people have a low fever at night but no problems during the day. Why does this happen? From a Western medical perspective, regular fever every day is caused by physical weakness, which is mostly related to kidney deficiency. For more detailed information, please read the following content.

There is a kind of fever that has an obvious characteristic, which is that it is relatively punctual, neither early nor late. It usually appears on time at five or six in the evening (it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as back pain, general fatigue, nocturnal emission and night sweats), and then slowly subsides after going to bed at night. When I took my temperature the next morning, everything was normal, so some Chinese medicine practitioners call it a fever at the hour of You.

But why do some people go to the hospital at this time every day with a fever? What kind of secret is hidden here?

According to the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, five or six o'clock in the evening is the time when qi and blood flow into the kidney meridian. Regular fever at this time is usually related to the kidneys, kidney deficiency (mainly kidney yin deficiency), when the kidney qi and blood are not strong enough, resulting in a fever, which is also called kidney deficiency type fever.

In daily life, there are four types of people who are prone to kidney deficiency type fever: the first is the elderly whose kidney function declines with age, especially those with poor physical fitness or who are often ill, for whom kidney deficiency is often more serious; the second is people who work long hours and high intensity every day and are chronically fatigued. This includes mental and physical workers, who are prone to kidney deficiency if they overdraw their physical strength; thirdly, newly married couples, who consume their essence and damage their kidneys, so they are prone to kidney deficiency; fourthly, adolescent children, mainly boys, who will suffer from kidney yin deficiency and cause fever.

After studying previous medical records and summarizing clinical practice, it was found that kidney deficiency type fever is generally a low fever. But a low-grade fever does not mean that the problem is not serious or that it is the early stage of the disease; on the contrary, a low-grade fever, especially a long-term low-grade fever, is a manifestation of severe damage to the kidney qi, indicating that the depletion of qi and blood is already quite serious.

Fever in the human body is actually the process of the struggle between the body's positive energy and negative energy. A high fever indicates that the body's qi and blood are still sufficient, and the combat effectiveness is still strong, and the war between good and evil is very fierce. If the body is already deficient in qi and blood, the physique is very weak, the positive energy is weak and the negative energy is strong, and the strength disparity is huge, the positive energy will fight hard, but it can only have a low fever.
