Fever control in G6PD deficiency
NSAIDs can generally be administered to patients with favism in a usual therapeutic dose. However, if hemolysis occurs, the NSAID should be discontinued. What if a patient with favism and uncontrolled fever shows hemolyisis upon administration of NSAIDs? How can we manage their fever in that instance? We can't give NSAIDs but, if left untreated, fever could cause brain damage. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
