Pregnant women have weaker physical resistance than ordinary women, and getting sick is inevitable. For example, fever is a common symptom among many pregnant women. Fever during pregnancy is very dangerous because medication cannot be easily taken and body temperature is difficult to effectively control. Will a pregnant woman's fever spread to her child?
Whether a pregnant woman's fever will spread to her child depends on her fever condition. If it is only a short-term mild fever, it generally will not affect the child. But if a pregnant woman has a fever for a long time and the degree of fever is very high, it may cause the child to be burned. Once a pregnant woman's fever affects the child, it may lead to risks such as intellectual disability and deformities in the uterus.
In order to avoid fever affecting the child, pregnant women must find ways to control their body temperature as soon as possible when they have a fever. Pregnant women generally do not need to take antipyretic medication when their body temperature is below 38.5. At this time, taking a warm bath or applying a cool towel to the forehead can help pregnant women lower their body temperature.
But if a pregnant woman has a fever exceeding 38.5, she cannot rely solely on physical methods to cool down. At this time, it is necessary to see a doctor in a timely manner, first understand the cause of the fever, and then treat it according to the cause of the fever. If necessary, you can also take some antipyretic drugs to prevent the body temperature from continuing to rise.
