What is the cause of unexplained fever in thyroid cancer

Unexplained fever in patients with thyroid cancer may be caused by thyroid cancer itself or by other diseases. It is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner, undergo relevant examinations under the guidance of a doctor, and receive treatment as directed by the doctor.

1. Thyroid cancer itself: If the thyroid cancer is large, it may cause compression to the surrounding tissues, thereby affecting local blood circulation and causing the patient to have unexplained fever. At this time, you can take methimazole tablets, propylthiouracil tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

2. Combined with other diseases: If thyroid cancer patients also suffer from respiratory infectious diseases such as pneumonia or tuberculosis, or digestive system diseases such as acute gastroenteritis and cholecystitis, they may have unexplained fever. At this time, treatment of the primary disease is required, such as the use of antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules and cefixime capsules to control inflammatory infections, and drugs such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets to inhibit gastric acid secretion. After the primary disease is under control, the patient's body temperature can gradually return to normal;

3. Other situations: If the parathyroid glands of thyroid cancer patients are damaged during surgery, the calcium ion level in the body will decrease, thus inducing hypocalcemia. When the calcium ion level in the blood is too low, it will lead to increased neuromuscular excitability, thus causing fever symptoms. At this time, you can take calcium gluconate oral solution, calcium carbonate D3 chewable tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

It is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. They should pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue and staying up late, and eat a light diet, including fresh fruits and vegetables.
