What to do if you have a fever during your fourth month of pregnancy

Normal fevers are easy to treat, with medicine or injections. But after you have a baby, you cannot take medicine casually in order not to affect the fetus. So what should you do if you have a fever in the fourth month of pregnancy? I believe that many expectant mothers must be very concerned about this topic. The doctor has given us an answer through the following content. Let’s take a look together.

1. Low fever: Don’t be too nervous. Find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. If the low fever is caused by a cold, you can drink more water, take vitamin C, cold granules and other Chinese patent medicines, and get enough rest. It will usually heal quickly.

2. High fever: Take time to reduce the temperature as soon as possible. Try to use physical cooling methods, such as cold compresses with wet towels; alcohol baths; some clean cold drinks on hot days; Chinese medicine extract - Bupleurum injection when necessary; try not to use Western medicine antipyretic injections or tablets. When selecting drugs based on the cause of the disease, drugs that have no effect on the fetus should be selected.

Fever is a protective response of the body's positive energy to fight against pathogenic factors, and is a common symptom of many diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine belongs to the categories of "febrile disease" and "typhoid fever yang syndrome".

Modern medicine believes that fever is caused by infectious diseases, gastrointestinal infectious diseases, systemic infections, blood system or immune diseases, excessive heat production, insufficient heat dissipation or abnormal temperature regulation of the central nervous system. Traditional medicine examines symptoms to find the cause, differentiates symptoms and prescribes treatment, uses pungent and warm herbs to relieve the symptoms, clears away heat and detoxifies, reduces fever and cures the disease.
