Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for over seven months. The past two days, I have been coughing a bit, and my trachea and chest feel a little sore. Just now, I also had some symptoms of fever, with intermittent pain in my thighs. I would like to ask if I can take medicine? What kind of medicine can relieve inflammation without interfering with the baby inside my stomach? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Got pregnant, is there phlegm when coughing? Also, a bit of fever, how high is the temperature? Below 38.5 degrees, you should take fever-reducing medication. Generally speaking, cephalexin and azithromycin have little interference on the baby. You can also take oral Shuanghuanglian oral liquid and Xianzhuli oral liquid. For fever reduction, you can use traditional Chinese medicine. It's better to use medicine based on the condition and syndrome differentiation. If the fever isn't high, you can use physical cooling methods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
