Women with colds and fevers may also experience this condition accompanied by kidney disease, rheumatism, rheumatoid disease, lumbar muscle strain, spinal and gynecological diseases. It causes patients physical and mental suffering, so why does a cold and fever cause back pain?

The clinical manifestations are: The cold-damp type is characterized by cold pain in the waist, soreness, heaviness, difficulty in turning, and aggravation on rainy days.

At present, the "A-type influenza" is completely out of control. The situation is roughly the same across the country. There are not enough testing reagents in various places, like where I live. Class II and above hospitals only have 40 influenza A test reagents per week, all of which are reserved for diagnosing critically ill patients. Therefore, it is currently impossible to confirm the diagnosis of patients with mild influenza A symptoms. Only samples are taken to determine how serious the disease is from an epidemiological perspective. Sampling is usually done by the local disease control center. For example, for 100 patients with fever, according to data, 50-80% of influenza-like fever cases are influenza A patients.

Fever, back pain

If you are just an ordinary citizen, there is no need to panic too much. After all, most influenza A patients actually suffer from common colds and will recover on their own. It's just that the general public has not been exposed to the virus and is generally susceptible. Only a very small number of cases are severe. Patients with fever should still be treated as if they had a common cold, and it is necessary to keep some antiviral and anti-cold drugs at home. The chance of infection is greater when seeking medical treatment in the hospital now. Unless the condition is serious, it is not recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. It is better to stay in the community or at home for quarantine and observation.

Treatment recommendations: Chinese herbal antiviral granules such as acyclovir, isatis root or yuye granules, combined with a small amount of antibiotics such as cefadroxil/azithromycin, drink plenty of hot water and vitamin-rich fruits, and paracetamol tablets can be used for fever. If the fever persists and the symptoms are severe, you can go to the hospital for treatment. The emergency treatment for high fever is to use warm water bath until the skin turns a little red. This is a simple physical cooling method, has no side effects, and is effective.
