What should I do if I have a high fever and cough at nine weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Yesterday afternoon, I started coughing. Today, I drank some chrysanthemum tea, and tonight I had pear soup with rock sugar. My throat hurts, I have phlegm, and my axillary temperature measured 37.8 degrees Celsius (0.5 degrees higher than usual). What should I do? Will this affect the baby's health?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with colds should not take medication blindly, otherwise it may interfere with the health of the fetus. In this case, it is generally necessary to use antibiotics such as penicillin for symptomatic intravenous drip treatment. Rest and drink more water, take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid orally for symptomatic treatment, and if the fever cannot be reduced, take paracetamol orally for symptomatic treatment! It is also important to drink more water and maintain a light diet.
