Please do not take any over-the-counter medicine on your own right now. Call your gynecologist immediately and let them tell you what is safe.

My mom made me do cold water sponging on my forehead to keep the temperature down, but she strictly made me call the doctor before taking any pill.

Aap khud se koi dawa mat khao, beta. Fever me seedha doctor ko phone lagao aur unse pooch kar hi dawa lo.

When I got a fever with severe vomiting, my gynac prescribed specific safe tablets. Please call your clinic and get a proper prescription.

Fever is absolutely no joke when you're pregnant. I had a temperature once and immediately called my gynac's assistant instead of guessing meds.
