What to do if you have a fever in early pregnancy

Women will have weaker resistance after pregnancy than before pregnancy and are more likely to catch colds. However, because they have a baby, they need to consider many factors to prevent medication from affecting the baby's healthy growth. The following content tells us the causes of colds and what to do in early pregnancy. If you want to know more, come and take a look with me.

Colds are caused by virus infection. However, this does not mean that you will catch a cold once the virus invades your body, because our bodies have resistance and immunity that can eliminate the invading viruses. However, the body's resistance will be weakened due to physical fatigue, external pressure and malnutrition, so that the body cannot resist the filterable virus and is infected, resulting in a variety of unpleasant and annoying cold symptoms.

Colds are caused by filterable viruses. If they can be eliminated, they can be cured by the end of the year. However, up to now, no medicine has been invented that can kill filterable viruses. The cold medicines currently used can only relieve symptoms such as cough, fever, sore throat and runny nose. Therefore, when you catch a cold, you don't have to rush to take medicine. You might as well try other treatments besides medicine first, and use medicine as a last resort. If you are worried about causing pneumonia and other complications, you can use medicine to prevent it.

In American society, it is generally recognized that colds do not require medicine. The best way to deal with colds is to take vitamin C, drink plenty of water to expel the virus from the body, and get enough sleep.

Of course, being too superstitious about certain things is certainly not a good idea, but relying on drugs is definitely not a good idea either. In everything, we should follow the doctrine of the mean and avoid going too far. Specifically, eating more minerals, vitamins, high-quality protein, and enjoying a warm sleep can increase your resistance. Therefore, adequate nutrition and sufficient sleep are undoubtedly the shortcut to treating a cold.

If the fever is less than 37.4 degrees, taking a bath is certainly not a problem, because moderate moisture can promote the body's metabolism. Bathing can warm your body, and as long as the water temperature is not too cold, you may as well soak as much as possible. Before taking a bath, warm up the room first and go to bed immediately after soaking. In this way, mild colds can be cured without medicine. If the fever is over 37.5 degrees and the body is extremely unwell, you must be careful to prevent complications such as pneumonia. It is best not to take a bath. The main treatment is to rely on quiet and adequate sleep.

Generally speaking, colds can almost always be cured without treatment, but don't think that you have to force yourself not to take medicine even when you have a fever or cough. At this time, you should follow the doctor's prescription and take safe medication to reduce the burden on pregnant women. The most dangerous thing is to buy medicine from a pharmacy and take it by yourself. The correct way is to receive treatment from an obstetrician and gynecologist nearby.

The above content is an introduction to what to do if you have a fever in early pregnancy. I believe that after reading it, everyone will have a certain understanding of this aspect. I hope that all expectant mothers can take good care of their bodies during pregnancy. Once there is something wrong with the body, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
