Does a fever affect babies?

Patient's question:

I am 54 days pregnant. A few days ago, I had a cold, coughed, and had a fever for 2 days, with a temperature of 37.4. I want to ask if 37.4 is considered a fever and what impact it has on the baby. I had an ultrasound the day before yesterday, and the doctor said the development is normal, but I am still confused. Many people say that a fever has an impact.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Your condition is generally considered to have little impact on the fetus due to short-term low fever.
Recommendation: Therefore, it is recommended not to worry too much. When necessary, it is important to regularly check the fetus's condition at the hospital and pay attention to maintaining good prenatal care.
