What to do if you have a fever during pregnancy

In order to have a healthy and smart baby, most couples will do a good job of preparing for pregnancy before getting pregnant. Both parties will not drink or smoke, eat a healthy and reasonable diet, and get enough sleep. It is also best not to get sick during this period of preparation for pregnancy and maintain the best mental state. Despite being very careful, some women still catch a cold and have a fever. So what should you do if you have a fever while preparing for pregnancy? Can it be treated with medicine?

1. Medication for fever has different effects on different stages of pregnancy. If you have a fever before the fertilized egg implants, that is, if the menstrual cycle is 28 days, the 22nd to 24th day of the menstrual period is the implantation period, then you can take medication. Generally, it will not affect the fetus.

2. If the fever occurs after implantation, that is, 24 days later to three months of pregnancy, you cannot take medicine at this time. Some medicines can cause fetal deformities, so you must go to a regular hospital to get medicine.

3. After three months, the impact of drugs on children is relatively much smaller. Except for some special drugs, most drugs have little effect.

4. You are now in the pregnancy preparation period. You can check when your period comes and calculate the ovulation period. The ovulation period is generally about 14 days before the next menstruation. Then you can calculate whether it is the implantation period.

5. If it happens after implantation, it is best not to use medication. Instead, use physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with warm water, taking an alcohol bath, or applying an ice pack. Drink more water. If accompanied by other symptoms, cephalosporins or penicillins can be used.

6. If you have a fever before implantation, you can take medicine, both anti-inflammatory and antipyretic.

What are the precautions during pregnancy preparation?

1. Keep exercising to prevent colds and coughs. Women who are planning to get pregnant should keep exercising, which will help prevent colds, coughs and other diseases, and prevent fetal malformations during pregnancy.

2. Nutritional storage must be sufficient. In order to have a healthy body to conceive a baby, you should have a reasonable diet before pregnancy and eat more nutritious foods, such as meat, vegetables, soy products, fruits, etc.

3. Avoid contact with radioactive substances. Exposure to harmful substances not only affects women's health, but also affects the normal development of the fetus after pregnancy and may cause fetal malformations.
