A woman’s body temperature is slightly elevated before the onset of menstruation and will be around 36.7°C, but will not exceed 37°C. Under normal circumstances, a woman’s body temperature will rise slightly after ovulation due to the influence of elevated progesterone, which will last for about 13 days, and when the progesterone level drops for 3-5 days, she will have her period. When a woman’s body temperature rises above 37.5°C a few days before her period and she has a cough, it is most likely that she has a cold. It is necessary to give timely treatment for colds and anti-inflammatory drugs to help prevent women from catching colds during menstruation due to lowered resistance. Women should also pay attention to eating more hot food, taking proper rest and strengthening their body to help them recover.
