During my time, we used to drink warm water boiled with ginger and tulsi for mild warmth, but pregnancy is a very delicate stage. You must not take any herbs or medicines without asking your doctor first. Keep yourself cool and rest.

My sister had a fever during her pregnancy last semester and we were all so stressed. She just called her doctor immediately who prescribed a safe medicine, and she stayed hydrated with coconut water. Don't take any random pills from the cabinet.

When I had a fever during my second trimester, I immediately visited my hospital and consulted my gynecologist. Please do not rely on home tips; ask your doctor clearly what is safe for you and the baby.

I was reading that a high fever in early pregnancy needs to be controlled quickly because high body temperature can affect the baby. It is always safest to contact your doctor right away for the correct advice.

With thyroid and other hormonal changes during pregnancy, our immune system can get weak and cause frequent fevers. It is very important to get a regular checkup and blood tests done under your doctor's close guidance.

Haan, pregnancy mein fever aana thoda worrying hota hai na. Normal medicines bilkul mat lena bina doctor se pooche. Just drink lots of water and call your doctor right away.

Hey sweetie, don't stress too much! Just rest up, drink lots of juices, and let your gynac know about the temperature. They will tell you exactly what to do, you are going to be completely fine.

My mother suggested putting damp cloth strips on my forehead to bring down the heat naturally, which was very soothing. However, we immediately called our doctor to confirm the safe medication. Always trust your doctor's word above all during pregnancy.
