Although fever is not a terrible disease, it still needs to be taken seriously, especially when pregnant women have a fever. For the sake of their own health and the normal development of the fetus, timely treatment is needed. So what should pregnant women do if they have a fever of 38.1 at 2 months? Let's learn together below.
1. Pay attention to the use of physical cooling. When a pregnant woman has a fever, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to alleviate its symptoms. Because a mother's high body temperature not only affects the mother's body, but also has adverse effects on the health of the embryo, it is necessary to adopt physical cooling methods that do not harm the human body. Generally, you can take a bath with warm water, or wipe your body with a hot towel to remove the surface temperature, apply hot cream, or use an ice pack to apply ice.
2. Hospitalization treatment. When the fever is too high or does not subside, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital to check the cause of the fever, and use medication to cool down appropriately.
3. Do not use drugs privately. When pregnant women have a fever, medication should not be used to reduce the fever without the guidance of a doctor. This is mainly because drugs cannot be used casually during pregnancy, as some drugs can affect the healthy development of the fetus.
Another reason is that after a fever, the cause was not detected in a timely manner and the fundamental problem was not solved by starting from the cause. Relying solely on medication to lower body temperature is not a scientific method. Firstly, it is necessary to identify the pathogen causing fever and then scientifically utilize it.
Due to the unique physical condition of pregnant women, it is necessary to use scientific methods during treatment. Do not self medicate, as incorrect methods may pose a threat to your own and the health of the fetus.
