Patient's question:
At 36 weeks pregnant, on January 31st morning, I started having high fever, with a peak temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Blood tests showed 16,000 white blood cells. After taking penicillin for three days, there was no improvement. Besides a headache, I have no other symptoms, and it's not just the fever. However, no inflammation can be identified. Hello...Doctor's answer:
The heartbeat of the mother accelerates, and the sound of the fetal heartbeat also slows down, which can cause adverse interference to the fetus. Low fever can also affect the uterus, leading to uterine contractions, causing premature birth or miscarriage, or even threatening the life of the fetus. It can also alleviate existing diseases in the pregnant woman.Recommendation: Most cold remedies are complex preparations containing multiple different ingredients, such as Rapid Cold Relief Capsules, Coldex, Contac, and Day & Night. These medications often contain antihistamines, which are not recommended during pregnancy. If there is no high fever or signs of infection, it is advisable to rest more and avoid medication for the time being. If there is high fever and inflammation, you can use some relatively safer antipyretic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as antelope horn injections or amoxicillin.
Lifestyle Care: It is important to pay attention to getting more rest, drinking more hot water, opening windows for ventilation, increasing vitamin intake, and relying on the body's own resistance to recover.
