Can you use medication to induce abortion if you have a fever?

Patient's question:

I am about two months pregnant. I have been having a slight fever for the past two days. Can you tell me if it's possible to have medication abortion with fever? What are the potential effects?

Doctor's answer:

If you have a slight fever after getting pregnant, you cannot use medication temporarily. Using fever-reducing drugs will not cause miscarriage, but it may lead to developmental deformities. Never use drugs indiscriminately. If you want this child, if you have a fever after pregnancy, you can apply cold packs externally. If the fever is above 38.5°C, you can use Xiao Chai Hu Granules. If you do not want the child, you can have a medication-induced abortion within 7 weeks, using Mifepristone and Misoprostol, and then go back to the gynecology department for a follow-up.
