What should I do if I have a fever and discomfort during ovulation?

Patient's question:

I and my husband recently planned to have a baby, but as soon as this month entered ovulation, I felt very unwell. That night, I started having a fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, I felt slightly better, but when I woke up the next day, I still felt uncomfortable. I checked my temperature, and it was still slightly elevated. What should I do if I have a fever during ovulation?

Doctor's answer:

The basal body temperature during ovulation is lower, generally ranging from 36.7 to 37 degrees Celsius. If there is a significant drop in temperature, it is not recommended to conceive. It is advised to wait until the next menstrual cycle to start trying to conceive.
During the preconception period, get plenty of rest and avoid overtime work or excessive strain. For mild colds with symptoms like clear nasal discharge and hiccups, it usually has little impact and does not require medication. Resting for a few days will often help. For mild colds, you can take pure traditional Chinese medicine such as Banlangen granules. Additionally, drink plenty of hot water and pay attention to rest, and the cold will recover quickly.
