What to do if you are pregnant and have a fever

In case of pregnancy fever, the first thing you need to do is to take your body temperature and try to ensure that it is below 38.5 degrees. If the temperature is not particularly high, physical cooling can be used to reduce the fever, the side effects are minimal and the impact on the fetus is also relatively small. A warm towel can be used to rub the skin of the patient’s whole body, especially the armpits, groin and neck, which are rich in large blood vessels, for a slightly longer period of time, which is still more effective in reducing fever. If the temperature of the fever is particularly high, more than 38.5 degrees, you need to go to the hospital immediately so that the doctor can deal with it. In addition, finding the cause of the fever for treatment is the main way to reduce the fever. It is necessary to check the blood routine and C-reactive protein. If there is an elevated white blood cell in the blood routine, the fever is caused by bacterial infection, and if there is no penicillin allergy in general, you can take oral amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory treatment. If there is a simple elevation of C-reactive protein, it is often a viral infection and can be treated symptomatically with busulfan anti-inflammatory oral solution.
