If I have a fever and hives, should I go to the emergency room?

It may not be just ordinary hives, but rather a sign of an infection or a systemic disease. If a high fever (38°C or higher) is present, you must seek immediate medical attention.

두드러기는 보통 열이 나지 않습니다. 발열 동반 시 다른 원인을 의심해야 합니다.

  • 감염: 바이러스 발진, 성홍열 등 감염성 질환
  • 약물: 약물 알레르기 반응 (스티븐스-존슨 증후군 초기 등)
  • 자가면역: 전신 홍반성 루푸스 등
⚠️ 즉시 내원

해열제를 먹어도 열이 내리지 않거나 발진이 빠르게 전신으로 퍼진다면 지체하지 말고 의료기관을 방문하세요.
