Severe Infarct CVA attack and paralysis - what causes fever? Posted: 11-06-07 14:24pm
Hi and how are all of you? My mother got a
severe CVA attack on 25 of september. The
type of CVA is "Infarct". About 8 or 9
days back, she started moving her legs and
feet little bit. Further more, she could
also move her face and neck but she cannot
speak, eat and perform ADLs(All Day
Activities).
About 8 or 9 days back, she got fever and
till now, the fever is still there.
Sometimes it is 99, sometimes, 100 or
100.2, 100.4....101, 102. It is
continuously fluctuating. It is important
to mention here that we have been giving
her Antibiotics like Ciprofloxicin,
Clathromycine, Vencomycine during these
days. Yesterday, we started giving her
Cefixime. We gave her another Antibiotic
as well but sorry I cannot remember its
name now.
The last thing I want to mention here that
when the temperature gets down to 98 or
98.4 or similar, she seems quite active,
fresh and obey various commands.
The only question I have is about this
Fever. Do you have any ideas about the
cause of fever? Did you see anyone with
similar condition? Do you think it is
"Drug Fever"?
Any suggestion and ideas will be greatly
greatly appreciated. I shall be very
thankful to you. May God bless you.
