I have mild fever and feel sticky, but my mother says don't bathe when fever is there. I am pregnant so I am extra confused about what is okay, haan I will ask doc too. What did you do during fever?
My doctor specifically said lukewarm water is fine and even helps cool a fever, just avoid hot tubs or very hot water as high body heat isn't good in pregnancy. A wet sponge on the forehead and arms helps too. But do call her about the fever itself for the right treatment.
A normal lukewarm bath is okay and can comfort you. But please dont ignore the fever part itself, get your gynac to advise on what's safe to take, especially if it's high or lasting. Fever needs attention more than the bath does.
Yes, a lukewarm bath or sponging is actually good to bring the fever down. Avoid very hot water, that's the main thing in pregnancy. Don't stay too long and dry off properly so you dont catch a chill.
Beta gungune paani se nahaa sakti ho, woh toh body ko aaram deta hai aur bukhar bhi thoda kam karta hai. Bas thanda paani ya bahut garam paani mat lena. Aur jaldi se body ponch ke kapde pehen lena thand na lage.
