Why is there a low fever with a liver abscess?
Why do patients with liver abscesses continuously have a low fever? This is because a liver abscess is a purulent liver condition caused by various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, or amoebas, indicating severe inflammation due to the presence of pus in the liver, resulting in a fever. But why is it a low fever? The reason may be attributed to the fact that it is inherently a bacterial infection. Treatment requires prolonged use of high-dose, full-course antibiotics. During this process, some bacteria might not be completely eradicated, or some residual bacteria continue to linger in the liver, thereby easily causing fever. Fever is a manifestation of the body's self-protection, so there is no need for excessive worry or anxiety. With proper full-course treatment, the disease can be cured. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
