Can pregnant women use antipyretic patches?

It is inevitable that pregnant women will have a fever. If they have a fever, they must use medication with caution and never take any medicine. There are many causes of fever, which may be caused by a cold. If you feel any discomfort in your body, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment in time. If you have a fever, drink more warm water and have a balanced daily diet. Fever patches are used to reduce fever. Let’s take a look at whether pregnant women can use fever patches?

1. Pregnant women can use fever patches

If a pregnant woman has fever symptoms during pregnancy, she can use a cooling patch. When the pregnant woman's fever is below 38.5 degrees, that is, a low fever, she can definitely use a cooling patch for physical cooling. The cooling patch diffuses the large amount of water contained in the hydrophilic polymer gel and transports it to the skin, where it carries away heat through the vaporization of the water, thereby achieving the effect of cooling down and protecting the brain. Because it is composed of menthol, water, and a polymer gel layer without any chemical or drug additives, it will not have any side effects on the human body. And we all know that medicine is three-point poison. There are many prohibited ingredients in antipyretic drugs for pregnant women, but pregnant women have to be treated when they have a fever. At this time, it is most appropriate to use a fever patch, which does not need to be taken and is also very convenient to use.

2. If it is cooled down, the effect will be better.

Just press the adhesive surface of the cooling patch against the forehead, neck, temples or other parts that need cooling or cold compress. In order to speed up the cooling effect, you can also use several patches and stick them on the left and right common carotid arteries, left and right axillary arteries, and left and right femoral arteries of the human body at the same time. This can relieve fever symptoms in time. If used after cooling, the effect will be better.

3. Notes

Pregnant women can use cooling patches to reduce fever, which will not cause any harm to the baby in the belly. Therefore, if there is a pregnant woman at home, you need to keep some of them in the refrigerator as a home necessity so that they can be used in time. However, if the pregnant woman's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees and is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms such as cough, headache, and nasal congestion, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
