Patient's question:
Hello Doctor!I am 6 and a half months pregnant and got a severe cold yesterday. Just now, I took my temperature, which was 37.5°C. Is this considered a low fever? I already feel very uncomfortable with the cold, and I’m also worried about its impact on the fetus. I went to the hospital this morning, and the local doctor prescribed Amoxicillin and Radix Isatidis for me. However, I didn’t dare to take Amoxicillin and am currently taking Radix Isatidis. Could you please give me some advice from the experts at MedGard?
Thank you so much!
Doctor's answer:
??????During the early stages of pregnancy, some women may experience fever that lasts for several days. If the temperature does not exceed 37.5°C, it could be due to physiological changes caused by pregnancy rather than a cold-induced fever. Resting and drinking plenty of plain water may help the temperature return to normal gradually. However, if the temperature exceeds 37.5°C and is accompanied by symptoms such as sore throat, cough, or others, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
