What should I do if I have a high fever during menstruation?

If a female friend has a high fever during menstruation, she can first try physical cooling, such as wiping the forehead and body with a cold towel. If the effect is not obvious, she should go to the hospital for treatment in time, because high fever can cause great harm to the body.

If you have a high fever during menstruation and the symptoms are mild, you can choose not to take any treatment measures or choose physical cooling methods to end it.

Specific method: Dip gauze or a soft towel in alcohol, wring it until half dry, and gently wipe the patient's neck, chest, armpits, limbs, palms and soles of feet. The concentration of alcohol used for bathing should not be too high, otherwise using high-concentration alcohol over a large area may irritate the skin and absorb a large amount of moisture from the epidermis.

2. Oral antipyretics

If physical methods of cooling down have no obvious effect, you can choose to use antipyretics to reduce fever, because antipyretics can be used to reduce fever during menstruation, but taking antipyretics during menstruation will have slight side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, etc. Therefore, it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
