102 fever

Laceyhelmer1683 · July 2014

Pretty sure I have the flu. Call my doc earlier said just to stay hydrated. But now my fever has went up.. Think I should go to the ER?

Have you taken Tylenol? I might see if my fever responded to Tylenol before taking an exhausting trip to the ER (but I hate ERs and find them an enormous hassle).

I would call your doctor again and tell him about the temp. I thought they considered prescribing Tamiflu or some other antiviral to pregnant women. I would at least ask your doctors opinion on that. If it were me, I would make sure I was seen by someone by tomorrow afternoon. They can test you for the flu and other things that could cause the fever.

I had a fever during the first trimester and they thought it might be the flu and it ended up being strep throat.

I would make a call to the after hour line just to be safe! Hope your feeling better soon!

Okay thanks guys.. I did take some Tylenol. Hopefully that will bring it down. Really don't like having to go to the ER big hasel but better Safe then sorry

Yikes, I hope your fever goes down soon and you don't need to go to the hospital.

Oh no! I'd call tour doc again just to be safe. You never know if it's a infection or something. At least if you call him and he wants you to be checked out, he can send you to L&D opposed to the ER.

If that fever doesn't go down within 1/2 hour - 45 mins, I would definitely call the on-call doc back. If your temp does go down and you're able to keep it within a safe range overnight, I would still call your OB tomorrow about testing for flu and possibly getting a prescription. Hope you feel better soon!!

Ugh i had the same symptoms early on with a severe bladder infection. First symptom low grade fever and then not keeping things down for over 24 hours so i went in and they found the infection i thought i had flu too. The antibiotics did help me but i didnt really start to feel better until like day 7 of 10! So keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!
