Gang Xiaohe said that there are two types of psychogenic fever: 1 type is 10-year-old adolescents with high metabolic rate. Under certain conditions, such as going to school, their body temperature will suddenly rise, sometimes it may be as high as 40 degrees, which is prone to autonomic nervous disorder and often can't get up in the morning; The second is chronic stress, such as work, housework, childcare and other pressures, and the body temperature tends to stay at 38 degrees for a long time.
The main cause of psychogenic fever is stress, which is caused by many reasons, such as high expectations, overwork, family disharmony, school strikes and so on. Therefore, people with psychogenic fever will not find abnormal data in blood tests, and taking antipyretics may not be effective. If they want to solve the problem, they should be examined by psychiatry or psychosomatic department to confirm the source of stress and find ways to solve it.
If you find that your child or yourself always has a fever, you can go to a psychiatric department or a psychosomatic department for examination after eliminating physiological diseases such as colds in pediatrics or general adult medicine. The doctor will prescribe drugs to relieve stress, while practicing relaxation, slowly guide your life and adjust your environment. Gang Xiaohe emphasized that it is very important that when treating patients with fever, relatives and friends around you need to understand and solve problems together.
On the other hand, observing the common reactions of people in Taiwan Province Province under long-term stress, Shi, the attending physician of the clinic psychiatry, said that long-term stress can easily lead to autonomic nerve disorder, which will lead to rapid heartbeat, insomnia and elevated body temperature. Poor health will also reduce immunity, increase the chances of bacterial viruses invading the body, and increase the frequency of natural colds.
As for whether psychogenic fever is common in Taiwan Province province, Zuo Shi said that Japanese cases are not common in the psychiatric department of Taiwan Province province, because people in Taiwan Province province will go to the general internal medicine clinic first if they find fever, and doctors will prescribe relevant drugs to relieve symptoms. If the fever persists and repeated tests fail to find out the cause of infection, it will be referred to psychiatric department or psychosomatic department. However, in the previous treatment process, people with similar symptoms may gradually relieve stress or their physical condition is controlled by drugs, and few cases are finally referred to psychiatric clinics.
