Second trimester here and i think im running a slight temperature since last night, feeling warm and tired. I dont want to just pop any tablet without asking doc. What do u all do for fever at home, any safe ways to bring it down?
Beta in our time we used to do thanda paani patti on forehead and give light food. These small things help comfort. But fever during pregnancy is not to be taken lightly, do show the doctor also.
I used to panic so much whenever my temp went up during pregnancy, I kept checking thermometer every hour. What calmed me was just calling my gynac and following exactly what she said. Sponging and fluids helped meanwhile, but please confirm with doc especially if fever is high.
First thing, dont self medicate in pregnancy. For mild fever you can do cool sponging, rest and stay hydrated. But fever in pregnancy should always be told to your gynac because they decide if and what medicine is needed.
