1. Physical cooling
You can apply a damp towel to your forehead and change it every 15-20 minutes to remove heat through water evaporation. You can also use antipyretic patches, which can continue to have a cooling effect. You can also use warm water to wipe the neck, armpits, groin and other areas with abundant blood vessels of pregnant women to promote heat dissipation, but be careful to avoid catching a cold.
2. Supplement water
Fever can accelerate the loss of water in pregnant women's bodies, so it is important to drink plenty of warm water and freshly squeezed fruit juice. This can not only replenish water, but also vitamins, promote metabolism, and help the body recover.
3. Adjust the environment
Maintain indoor air circulation, keep the room temperature between 22 ℃ -24 ℃ and humidity between 50% -60%. This environment is beneficial for pregnant women to dissipate heat and rest comfortably.
4. Drug therapy
If the body temperature still does not decrease or continues to rise after non pharmacological treatment, medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used drugs include acetaminophen. However, it should be noted that the first three months of pregnancy are a critical period for fetal organ development, and medication should be taken with extra caution. In addition, the use of drugs such as aspirin during pregnancy may have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses, and should be avoided.
If a pregnant woman has a fever lasting for more than 24 hours, or if her body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃ and physical cooling is ineffective, or if she experiences symptoms such as headache, cough, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., she should seek medical attention immediately.
