Patient's question:
Description of the problem: My last menstrual period was on March 18th, and it has been confirmed that I am pregnant. I have not taken any birth control pills. After dinner today, I started experiencing a headache and a fever of 37.8 degrees Celsius. I don't have any other symptoms (except for the headache and fever, I don't have any cold symptoms). How can I reduce the fever, urgently!!! On January 15th of this year, I had an induced abortion due to improper medication for a fever. I was also in early pregnancy at 35 days...Doctor's answer:
Thermometer:This is a must-have at home. It's important to check the temperature every half hour to an hour, keeping it around 37°C. The best place to measure temperature is under the armpit for accuracy. It's recommended to choose a mercury thermometer as it is more accurate.
Water:
Drink plenty of boiled water during a fever. Other types of water, such as mineral water or distilled water, should not be consumed in excess. It's best to use water boiled in a kettle to replenish the fluids lost due to high temperatures.
Baby fever patches:
Don't think that fever patches are only for babies—they can also be used by adults. Fever patches contain alcohol, which can help lower body temperature. The cooling effect of fever patches is relatively slow, making them suitable for physical cooling. Before applying, gently wipe the forehead with a towel, then place the fever patch on it.
