  The treatment of fever in pregnant women should be based on specific circumstances. If the body temperature is relatively high, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and receive reasonable treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the fever is not very serious, some physical measures can be taken to cool it down.

  When a pregnant woman has a fever, the water in her body evaporates quickly and the salt is also lost. The body consumes a lot of heat, so it is necessary to replenish water in a timely manner. Drinking more water not only helps to reduce fever, but also facilitates the excretion of toxins in the body, which can promote the recovery of the female body. If a pregnant woman sweats a lot, she can also add an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to the water to maintain the necessary salt and sugar in her body.

  When pregnant women have a fever, their digestive ability in the gastrointestinal tract may decrease. Many pregnant women have a low appetite, so they should eat liquid foods such as rice soup, eggs, and milk. They should try not to eat greasy and stimulating foods. At the same time, pregnant women should have sufficient rest to ensure adequate sleep and reduce physical exertion.
