What should I do if I get type B influenza at 8 months pregnant?
Disease description:
Hello, I'm 8 months pregnant and have contracted influenza B. What should I do?
When pregnant women are infected with influenza B, they may experience symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and oral ulcers. Upon infection, they should seek medical attention immediately, as delayed treatment could cause serious harm to the fetus or even lead to miscarriage. Doctors will implement effective treatment measures to minimize harm to the fetus. Generally, pregnant women will receive antiviral therapy to reduce symptoms and may take antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. They should also ensure adequate rest, maintain regular eating habits, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and strengthen their immune system to better fight off the virus.
