My wife is currently 7 months pregnant and has a fever of 37.8 degrees, coughing.

Patient's question:

Sudden fever today

Doctor's answer:

If the fever is below 37.4 degrees, taking a bath is certainly not a problem, because moderate humidity can promote the body's metabolism. Bathing can warm the body, as long as the water temperature is not too low, it is best to soak as much as possible. Before bathing, warm up the room first, and after soaking, you can go to bed immediately. In this way, a mild cold can be cured without medication.
If the fever exceeds 37.5 degrees and the body feels extremely uncomfortable, it is necessary to be cautious of complications such as pneumonia. It is best not to take a bath, as rest and sufficient sleep are still the main treatments.
