What Does Fever After Stroke Indicate?
Question: My uncle got fever.he is not well.he got stroke earlier
Brief Answer:
The cause of fever needs to be identified.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the clinical details.
The cause of fever should be identified. This may require Chest X-ray, urine examination and evaluation by a general physician.
CT scan shows infarcts- lack of blood flow to brain. For that, antiplatelets (Aspirin or clopidogrel) and statins (rosuvastatin or atorvastatin) should be continued.
