What Causes Fever During Pregnancy?
Question: Sir, my wife is 36 week old pregnant. From 3p.m onwards she's body feels hotter then normal.its too late to get hospital. Please guide me, how can I help her.
Brief Answer:
tablet paracetamol advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to have fever during changing seasons so nothing much to worry usually.
Give her tablet paracetamol 500 mg and see for response.
It can be given to a maximum of four times a day.
In case she also has sore throat or the fever fails to subside with paracetamol then she should also start antibiotics.
So first give her paracetamol and then we can discuss further management if needed.
Take care
