What causes a fever in pregnant women?

This situation occurs during pregnancy because the mother's metabolism is active and her body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people. It may also be caused by kidney yin deficiency and excessive fire. So what is the specific reason why pregnant women have fever all over their body? Please follow me to find out.

The body temperature of pregnant women is 0.5-1 degree higher than that of ordinary people, and their blood circulation is also faster. So it is normal to feel hot. Be careful not to catch a cold when using the air conditioner. If you just feel hot and don't have a fever when measuring with a thermometer, then it is normal.

It is mainly caused by the accelerated metabolism of the whole body due to the changes in body hormones after pregnancy. You should drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and fried food, do not wear too many clothes, and pay attention to indoor ventilation. In this case, it is recommended to measure the body temperature to see if it is elevated. If the temperature is elevated, it is often caused by inflammatory infection. A routine blood test is needed and anti-inflammatory drugs can be selected based on the examination. If the body temperature is normal, it may be caused by yin deficiency, excessive fire, getting angry, hot weather, etc. You can drink more water and eat more cool foods. Considering that it is caused by kidney yin deficiency and excessive fire, it is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can eat hasselt membrane, black fungus, black sesame, small walnuts, etc. for food supplements.

Remember to drink plenty of water. As long as your body temperature does not exceed 37 degrees, you don’t need to worry. These are all normal phenomena. But be careful not to eat too much cold or frozen food, as that will be bad for the fetus. I would also like to remind you not to feed your baby too much fruit with a high sugar content, such as watermelon, grapes and other very sweet fruits. You need to control your intake because if you eat too much fruit with a high sugar content, the fetus will grow too large, which will affect delivery on the one hand, but it is not good to cause a giant baby because giant babies are prone to chronic hypoxia in the stomach.

The above article describes the topic of fever in pregnant women. I believe that everyone has learned a lot after reading this. I also hope that all expectant mothers can rest assured that the body temperature of pregnant women will be slightly higher than that of normal people, so there is no need to worry.
