Does low fever need to be tested for nucleic acid?

A fever requires a nucleic acid test. Because in the national epidemic prevention and control process, fever is one of the typical symptoms in COVID-19. If fever symptoms appear, you may be infected with coronavirus, so you need to carry out nucleic acid testing to confirm your physical condition. If the possibility of COVID-19 infection is definitely ruled out, medication should be taken according to symptoms to control the development of the disease. There are many reasons for fever, and the most important one is the inflammatory symptoms in the body. It is necessary to drink more water and use anti-inflammatory drugs to improve the condition.

The temperature of fever has no obvious relationship with the need for nucleic acid detection, but it is mainly related to whether the patient has had contact with novel coronavirus patients or suspected patients.

If the patient has only a low fever, has no symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath or dyspnea, and has not been exposed to novel coronavirus carriers, it is not necessary to carry out nucleic acid testing.

On the contrary, if you have contact with COVID-19 patients or novel coronavirus carriers, even if you don't have a fever, you should go to the hospital for nucleic acid testing in time and isolate yourself consciously.

If this person has a cold and fever, and has no contact history with coronavirus patients, this person can drink ibuprofen sustained-release tablets, Lianhua Qingwen capsules, drink more water, or take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Cefdini capsules can be observed again. If it is still not good, then there is coronavirus infection around this area, so you can do nucleic acid detection or lung ct.
