Question
A pregnant woman has developed high fever and cough symptoms in the ninth week of her pregnancy. She has already tried drinking chrysanthemum tea and eating sugar-candied pear to alleviate her sore throat and excessive phlegm, and her armpit temperature has risen to 37.8 degrees at night. She inquires about how to manage these symptoms and whether they will affect the health of the fetus.
Answer
During pregnancy, it is not recommended to take medication randomly as it may affect the health of the fetus. In this case, it is usually necessary to use antibiotics such as penicillin for symptomatic intravenous injection treatment, and pay attention to adequate rest and plenty of water intake. Oral administration of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid can be used for symptomatic treatment. If the body temperature cannot be lowered, consider taking oral paracetamol for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is also important to drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet.
