What to do if you have a low-grade fever in late pregnancy

Generally, when pregnant women reach the late stages of pregnancy and are preparing to give birth, they do not pay much attention to their diet at this time. In addition, they do not take good care of their bodies, which can easily lead to symptoms of colds and fevers. Pregnant women cannot take medicine when they have a cold or fever in the late stages of pregnancy because they are worried that it will cause uterine contractions, premature birth or miscarriage. What should you do if you have a low fever in the late stages of pregnancy?

Specific analysis and treatment: If a pregnant woman has complications, such as heart disease, emphysema, etc., a cold and fever will aggravate the original condition. Family members and medical staff are required to give more care to pregnant women and take treatment measures as soon as possible. Pregnant women with mild cold symptoms but no fever should pay attention to getting more rest, drinking plenty of boiled water, opening windows for ventilation, increasing vitamin intake, and try to use their own resistance to restore health.

The key is to choose drugs carefully and never take drugs that have teratogenic effects. As we all know, drugs are chemical substances used by people to prevent, treat or diagnose diseases. They are generally chemically active and can affect the physiological activities of body cells or their metabolic processes at a certain dose. Toxic drugs (including teratogenic drugs) refer to chemical substances that can harm human health.

Only when we understand and recognize the difference between drugs and toxic drugs can we use it correctly. There is no clear boundary between drugs and poisons. Drugs are more or less toxic. Reasonable use will not cause toxic effects; toxic effects will occur if they are improperly used. Pregnant women take drugs to treat diseases, but the drugs can pass through the placenta in the pregnant woman's body to the fetus, which may also cause poisoning or teratogenesis. It can be seen that the difference between drugs and toxic drugs is only a quantitative difference.
