Chinese often omits subjects when they are obvious from context.
In this sentence, the doctor is clearly speaking to a specific person, so 你 is understood:
- 如果你今天晚上又发烧,你就赶紧来医院。
But in natural speech, repeating 你 is often unnecessary, so it gets dropped.
又 means again.
So 又发烧 means get a fever again or have a fever again.
It suggests the person has already had a fever before, and the doctor is talking about it happening one more time tonight.
This is a very common question.
Both 又 and 再 can relate to repetition, but they are used differently:
- 又 often refers to something happening again, especially when it has already happened before and the speaker sees it as a repeated event.
- 再 is more commonly used for doing something again in the future.
Here, 又发烧 sounds natural because the doctor is talking about the return of a symptom the patient has already had.
A learner-friendly way to think about it:
- 又 = again, as a repeated situation
- 再 = again, one more time in the future
In real life, this distinction is not always perfectly simple, but in this sentence 又发烧 is very natural.
