Rationale:
The application of Xingnaojing injection is widespread; however, drug-induced fever associated with this medication is challenging to diagnose. Previous literature rarely reports cases of drug-induced fever resulting from the use of Xingnaojing injection.
Patient Concerns:

Diagnoses:
Considering the potential for drug fever associated with the administration of Xingnaojing injection.
Interventions:
Discontinue the use of Xingnaojing injection.
Outcomes:
The patient has shown improvement and is being discharged.
Lessons:
Clinical practitioners should enhance the prevention and management of adverse drug reactions to reduce both patient hospitalization duration and economic costs, thereby ensuring the safety of medication use for patients.
