What are the treatment measures for high fever caused by lung cancer? Three safe and effective ways to deal with high fever caused by lung cancer

1. The main cause of fever in advanced lung cancer: pyrogens released after lung cancer necrosis enter the blood circulation.

Fever caused by cancer (internal injury fever), fever symptoms in late stage lung cancer, mainly high fever or low fever, fever caused by lung cancer is generally around 37.5℃-38℃, occasionally up to 39℃, irregular fever, mostly without chills, afternoon fever is more common, sometimes remittent high fever can also be seen. Fever can be caused by tumor necrosis or its metabolites.

Generally speaking, chills and coughs will not occur at the same time. If chills and coughs occur at the same time, it may be caused by a cold. At this time, it is recommended to stop taking anti-cancer drugs and use drugs for treating colds and fever instead, or use Western medicine infusions to reduce fever. It usually takes effect within 1-2 days, and then continue treatment for patients with advanced lung cancer.

2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also cause fever.

Treatment of persistent high fever in lung cancer? Clinically, the fever rate of central lung cancer is higher than that of peripheral lung cancer, and central lung cancer is mainly caused by infectious fever, while peripheral lung cancer has relatively more cancer fever. Central lung cancer is prone to bronchial obstruction and distal secretion retention, which can easily cause infectious fever. However, peripheral lung cancer only attracts attention when the tumor is larger. At this time, the tumor is necrotic, the tissue is obviously destroyed, and the necrotic material cannot be discharged in time. Cancer fever causes a significant increase in lung cancer fever.

Therefore, for patients with central lung cancer, it is necessary to strengthen aerosol inhalation while undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, encourage patients to cough and expectorate effectively, keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, and use antibiotics reasonably to reduce the fever rate. For fever caused by peripheral lung cancer, in the absence of infection, oral Naproxen can be taken to reduce the temperature, and effective supportive therapy can be given while giving anti-tumor treatment.

3. Tumors cause patients to have reduced immunity, especially low white blood cell count, which often leads to fever due to infection.

Lung cancer experts said that lung cancer patients often get infected due to low immunity. The main sites of infection are the respiratory tract, intestines, gallbladder system and abdominal cavity. The symptoms of infection vary depending on the site. For example, respiratory tract infection mainly manifests as cough, shortness of breath and fever; intestinal infection mainly manifests as abdominal pain and diarrhea; abdominal cavity infection may cause abdominal pain and fever.

Fever caused by infection in late stage lung cancer is mainly caused by bacteria, fungal infection is also not uncommon. Cancer fever is more common in lung cancer patients, mostly with continuous low to moderate fever. If the patient has a fever at home, family members should change the patient's soaked clothes in time at night to prevent cold; encourage drinking more water, and perform physical cooling when necessary. If the patient has a high fever, he should go to the hospital immediately, ask the doctor to make a detailed diagnosis, and find the correct treatment method for treatment.
