- Fever and Infection Management
Fever is one of the most common symptoms that bring people to the clinic—and for good reason. While it can be a simple viral infection, it may also signal something more serious such as a bacterial illness, urinary tract infection, dengue, typhoid, or even COVID-19. Proper evaluation and timely treatment are crucial to avoid complications and support a full recovery.
Fever and infection management begins with a detailed clinical assessment, including a review of symptoms such as chills, body pain, cough, throat irritation, vomiting, or rashes. A focused physical examination helps pinpoint the likely source of infection, and relevant investigations like blood tests, urine analysis, or imaging may be advised to confirm the diagnosis.
The goal is to:
- Identify the underlying cause—viral, bacterial, parasitic, or inflammatory
- Provide targeted treatment based on the diagnosis (antibiotics only if necessary)
- Manage associated symptoms like fatigue, dehydration, or body pain
- Prevent complications through timely intervention and close monitoring
- Offer advice on isolation and infection control, if required
- Support immune health with nutrition and rest recommendations
Dr. Pandichelvan takes a calm, methodical approach to fever cases. He avoids overmedication and ensures patients understand the treatment plan clearly. For recurring or unexplained fevers, a deeper evaluation is carried out to rule out hidden infections, autoimmune issues, or other systemic conditions.
Children, elderly patients, and those with existing medical conditions receive special attention, as infections can affect them more severely.
Prompt diagnosis and appropriate care can make all the difference—especially when infections escalate quickly.
