Methods for Managing Fever in Pregnant Women

Hello, If you develop a fever during pregnancy, the first step is to measure your body temperature accurately. If your temperature is below 38°C (100.4°F), physical cooling methods are recommended—such as gently wiping the forehead, armpits, and popliteal fossae (behind the knees) with alcohol or lukewarm water. If your temperature exceeds 38°C, prompt oral antipyretic medication is advised. Xiao Chai Hu Granules (Minor Bupleurum Granules) may be taken; this herbal preparation is considered safe for fetal development. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water and maintain a light, easily digestible diet. Should your fever rise above 39°C (102.2°F), seek immediate medical attention at a hospital for evaluation and possible intramuscular or intravenous antipyretic therapy. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health and happiness!
