What to do if you have a fever during pregnancy

A pregnant woman's body is very delicate. She cannot get tired, cannot catch a cold, and needs to take supplements. All of this is for the good of the pregnant woman and the fetus. But what should you do if you have a fever during pregnancy? I guess this will make many first-time pregnant mothers feel very frightened and they won’t know what to do. But in fact, this is not something to worry too much about. As long as you adjust it carefully, there will not be any major impact. Next, I will tell you what to do, and I hope to provide some experience for all expectant mothers.

During pregnancy, the body temperature is generally higher than usual. It is not so obvious in the late stage. It is normal, but there are some small ways to lower the body temperature. 1. You can cool down physically. Put a towel in a basin of warm water, wring out the water, and wipe your whole body, especially your forehead, bends of your arms, roots of your thighs, and the soles of your hands and feet. This will be very effective. Drink more boiled water with ginger and jujube, and then sweat. 2. The basal metabolism of pregnant women increases, and the endocrine system of the mother changes during pregnancy. The body consumes calories quickly, and blood sugar is insufficient, which will cause drowsiness and hotness. In the early stages of pregnancy, you should drink more water and eat less spicy and hot foods, such as beef, mutton, fennel, leek, pepper, longan, lychee, mango, etc. It is best not to eat cold things in the early stages of pregnancy, because the first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable period, and cold foods are not good for the fetus. In addition, do not drink coffee or cola. If you feel very hot, you can drink some rock sugar pear water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, go out more and exercise, and keep a happy mood. 3. You can take some pure Chinese patent medicines orally, such as Isatis root and other antibiotics (such as amoxicillin, as long as you are not allergic, this medicine will not affect the fetus), and at the same time, make sure to increase the amount of water you drink. 4. When you are pregnant, you should adhere to the principles of "see a doctor regularly, stay in bed more often, and overcome your bad habits. In addition, you should pay attention to the following in your daily life: 1. Keep a happy mood. 2. Do not maintain the same posture for too long to avoid poor blood flow, which may stimulate the uterus and cause contraction, resulting in miscarriage. 3. Avoid undue increase in abdominal pressure. 4. Avoid slipping. 5. Avoid traveling. 6. Leisure life and sexual life must be gentle and safe. 7. Avoid drugs, tobacco and alcohol. 8. Do not expose to radiation or high voltage waves.

From the above we can see that fever during pregnancy is not a big deal, nor is it too difficult to solve, so there is no need to worry too much. It is best for expectant mothers to maintain a normal mentality, which is also good for the fetus.
