How to treat a fever of 38 degrees Celsius at three months of pregnancy

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: Only fever, no cough, no shortness of breath, no diarrhea, drank a lot of water but it didn't go down. Past treatment and effectiveness: Drank a lot of water but it didn't go down, no other treatment. Desired help: Can I take traditional Chinese medicine like Daqingye or Banlangen? Can I get an intravenous drip?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am three months pregnant and have some fever-like symptoms in the morning. Could this be caused by a cold? Based on your symptoms, I recommend taking Cephalexin and Qingkailing orally, which have shown very good effects. Your condition is likely due to an inflammatory infection during pregnancy, leading to low-grade fever. It is necessary to undergo tests to diagnose the cause and then actively treat it to ensure a complete cure, so as not to affect the development of the fetus.
Act quickly to lower the fever and try to use physical cooling methods, such as applying cold compresses with wet towels or alcohol baths. On hot days, you can have some refreshing cold drinks. If necessary, you may use the traditional Chinese medicine extract—Bupleurum Injection. It is best to avoid Western medicine fever-reducing injections or tablets when selecting medications, as the drugs should be chosen to have no adverse effects on the fetus.
