Resolving Persistent Fever with TCM in a Patient with a Complex Medical History
Overview
A 57-year-old woman experienced a persistent high fever (102.2–103°F) for seven days, accompanied by severe occipital headaches, body aches, and joint pain. Her medical history included rheumatoid arthritis and breast cancer, for which she had undergone surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Despite testing negative for COVID-19 and having normal blood work, her fever persisted. Conventional medical examinations revealed no clear cause, leading her to seek Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment.
Key challenges
- Persistent fever unresponsive to conventional medical treatments.
- Digestive issues, including constipation and loss of appetite.
- History of chemotherapy-related low neutrophil counts.
- Severe occipital headaches and shivering episodes.
Treatment
The symptoms indicated an internal imbalance affecting the digestive and immune systems, leading to prolonged fever cycles. This was addressed with a customized herbal medicine formula targeting inflammation and restoring systemic harmony. Two days later, the fever dropped to 95.18°F, and appetite improved, though weakness and dizziness remained. The herbal prescription was then adjusted to strengthen immunity and restore energy while continuing pathogen elimination.
Outcomes
- No recurrence of symptoms.
- Fever resolved within three days.
- Appetite and energy levels restored.
- Improved overall well-being through targeted herbal therapy.
