Will Fever During Pregnancy Affect Baby And Suggest Remedies?

Hi there, I am now 20 weeks pregnant with my first child and just today, I am experiencing a fever of 37.8 degrees. Since morning, I have eaten my breakfast and lunch as usual but I keep throwing up all that I have eaten after every meal. I would like to know if this can affect my baby in any way and if so, are there any remedies for it since I have no appetite at the moment?

Hi,
If you are not able to take food properly , then you should drink plenty of fruit juices or milk shakes...usually this will not affect your baby & your temperature is not that much high, so you need not to take any medicine, but rather you can put hot water soaks to get rid of your fever...
Just relax and have enough body rest, fever will go away shortly and your appetite will also increase...
Dont take any kind of medicines without consulting your gynecologist. ..
Feel free to ask any more questions to me anytime....
