Fever

kleshelle

Alright mommies, I'm sick, throat sore/chest cold crap.
I feel fevered, I've already taken Tylenol and I don't feel as if it's helping. I'm about to try a cold washcloth on my forehead. Any other safe ideas to lower my temp?

Oh no! I am sorry you are sick. I have had a stuffy nose since I became pregnant, and that alone is miserable! Are you drinking plenty of water? Maybe try eating some popsicles to help keep you hydrated? I know dehydration can cause your temperature to be elevated.

Just make sure you keep an eye on it. My OB said I need to be seen if my fever is over 100

@kleshelle I'm in the same boat! I'm seeing my primary care MD tomorrow. Stay hydrated and get lots of rest!!! Gatorade is good if you csnt get down a lot of water. I put a cold washcloth on my head and it helped too. Hope you feel better soon!

Have you tried a cool or lukewarm shower or bath? Not a long one, just enough to feel the effects- like a cold washcloth for your body.

Try eating popcicles, don't wrap yourself in cover, even if you're really cold.... I would definitely keep a check on how high it is, because I know fevers can be dangerous in pregnancy. Hope you get to feeling better!

Lots and lots of fluids, super important to stay hydrated!

Hope you feel better soon! There are tons of crummy viruses going around now. DH and I were both sick the entire month of December with a nasty cold virus.
