What should pregnant women do if they have diarrhea and fever?

1. Drink more boiled water

Boiled water has an "internal cleansing" effect on the human body. It is easier to pass through the cell membrane, promote metabolism, increase hemoglobin content, and thus improve the body's immune function. At the same time, boiled water can also reduce the concentration of hormones in the blood that can cause vomiting in pregnant women. Boiled water that has been disinfected is clean and hygienic and avoids pathogenic bacteria that may cause disease. It is the main source of water for pregnant women, but do not drink water that has been boiled for a long time or repeatedly.

2. Choose mineral water carefully

Real mineral water is groundwater that naturally springs from deep underground or is artificially developed, is unpolluted, and contains a variety of trace elements. When drinking mineral water, you should try to choose a reliable brand. Qualified mineral water should have no peculiar or foreign taste. However, pregnant women should try not to drink cold water. It is best to warm it up before drinking it to avoid irritating the intestines and causing uterine contractions.

3. Purified water is not suitable for drinking

Purified water, space water and distilled water are all pure water. Its advantage is that it does not contain bacteria or viruses; its disadvantage is that when consumed in large quantities, it will take away useful trace elements in the body, thereby reducing the body's immunity. Therefore, pregnant women should not drink this kind of water. Pregnant women need to pay attention to the factory date of the bottled water they drink at home, and each bottle of water should be finished within a week to avoid bacteria breeding over a long period of time. The inner tank of the water dispenser should be cleaned once every six months to one year to achieve the purpose of cleanliness.

4. Drink as little tea as possible

Drinking tea can easily increase the nervous excitability of pregnant women, which may cause shallow sleep, accelerated heartbeat, increased fetal movement, etc. In addition, the tannic acid contained in tea may combine with calcium and iron in food to form a complex that cannot be absorbed by the body, affecting the absorption of calcium and iron, thereby affecting fetal development and causing anemia in pregnant women. Pregnant women who love drinking tea may wish to drink a small amount of lighter green tea.

Through the above introduction, everyone is clear about what to do if pregnant women have fever and diarrhea. If the condition is more serious, you still need to consult a doctor and take some Chinese patent medicine with fewer side effects, which can have a relieving effect. However, you still need to pay attention to proper body conditioning in daily life to avoid the occurrence of some health risks.
