Patient's question:
Pregnant for four and a half months with pneumonia and persistent fever that won't subside. Even after taking traditional Chinese medicine, the temperature keeps fluctuating between 37.4 and 38.4 degrees, going up and down repeatedly. During this time, I took Cefixime and had two doses of fever-reducing medicine. What should I do about this recurring fever? Do I need to go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory medication? The hospital examination suggested it, but I was afraid it might affect the baby, so I continued taking traditional Chinese medicine. Now, it's been two and a half days of fever.Doctor's answer:
Based on the description you provided, fever usually has a process. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a blood test to clarify the diagnosis and treat accordingly. It is not advisable to take medication casually. Some medications can be taken during pregnancy, but they must be used under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, drink more water, eat light and easily digestible foods, pay attention to preventing colds, and carefully observe your condition.
