What to do if you have a fever of 38.5 degrees in pregnancy

When you have a pregnancy fever of 38.5 degrees, as long as the temperature does not persistently rise above 38.5 degrees, you can first not take antipyretic and analgesic drugs, because antipyretic drugs are generally prohibited during pregnancy. It is best to use physical cooling methods, such as ice packs on the forehead or fever patches, and it is best to wipe the whole body with warm water, especially in the armpits, groin, and neck where large blood vessels are rich, and it is best to wipe for a slightly longer period of time. However, when a pregnant woman has a fever, the most important thing is to find out the cause of the fever and prescribe the right medicine, which is more important than just reducing the fever. If the fever is caused by a common cold, the prognosis is relatively good, and the pregnant mother can be given Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid and Banlangen granules for treatment.
