Inquiry
The patient inquires that after hormone treatment for optic neuritis, although their eye vision has improved, they are also experiencing low-grade fever and common cold symptoms. They hope to know which fever-reducing medications they can take.
Answer
Medical Advice: Optic neuritis or optic nerve papillitis refers to inflammation of various parts of the optic nerve. Depending on the site of inflammation, it can be categorized into intraorbital and retrobulbar types. Treatment targeting the cause is the most important, and appropriate corticosteroids should be administered promptly. If treatment is only initiated in the middle or late stages, the effectiveness will be significantly reduced. It should be accompanied by the use of neurotrophic drugs or medications that promote blood circulation and dilate blood vessels. For fever and common cold symptoms, appropriate fever-reducing and cold remedies can be chosen under physician guidance. Additionally, it is important to rest adequately, avoid excessive eye strain, eat a light diet, and consume foods rich in antioxidants to help restore eye health.
