Question
I am 13 weeks pregnant and have had a fever for two days now that hasn’t gone away. After taking acetaminophen, the condition has not improved. I would like to know if this medication can affect the fetus.
Answer
Fever may be caused by a viral infection, which not only affects maternal health but can also lead to abnormal fetal development. In the absence of a confirmed cause, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, take antiviral or antipyretic detoxification drugs, and undergo regular prenatal examinations. When using medication, caution is advised, and it is necessary to consult a doctor and follow medical instructions.
