Feeling a bit warm since evening and im 20 weeks, getting nervous. I know i shouldnt just take any medicine on my own. Planning to call my doctor tomorrow but wanted to know how others managed in the meantime.
Fever in pregnancy should not be ignored or self treated. Dont just pop any tablet, some are not safe. Call your gynac, they usually allow a specific safe medicine and will tell you if you need to come in, especially if it is high.
Step one is hydration and rest, step two is calling your gynac for a safe medicine, never guess the dose. High fever especially needs prompt attention because it can affect the baby. Keep your doctor's number handy always.
For a mild rise I rested, drank lots of fluids and did a cool cloth on the forehead. But honestly fever can mean an infection, so I always called my doctor before taking anything. If it crosses a high temp or wont come down, go in, dont take chances.
