I am eight weeks pregnant and a couple days. I've had a fever or 100.4 and i also have a bad cough.?

Question

What do i do? I'm scared to take medicine because my friend says your not suppose to take medication when you are pregnant. I've had the fever going on 4 days. What do you recommend?

Answer 1

go to the hospital!!!!!!!!!!! u have an infection of some kind and it could be life threatening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!u can have tylenol while u r pregnant but thats about it. good luck!!!

Answer 2

You need to call your doctor and ask what kind of medication you can have...he will have a list for you...that you cant take anything at all is a myth...i took all kinds of stuff when I was pregnant (three times) but you have to ask you doctor first. If you dont have a doctor call any hospital Maternity Ward and ask them. They are always happy to help.

you can always take Tylenol when you are pregnant. Dont take more then the lable recommends.

Answer 3

i would seriously go to your doctor, they would know what to give you. if you don't have insurance, i would ask a doctor over the phone to see what you can do.  

Answer 4

Your friend is wrong. There are some meds you can take and some you cannot. First of all, having a fever can be dangerous so you want to get it down. Take Tylenol as directed on the bottle - that is safe during pregnancy. Also drink LOTS of water. And call your OB - mine always told me to call if my fever got above 100.4 - random but that was the number she gave me.

Answer 5

your OBGYN should be called. if they are closed call anyways. they will have some sort of an answering service, the doc will be paged and the doc will call you back. if this is not possible you may want to seek care at urgent care or and er if you have no other options left. good luck and get well soon.

Answer 6

Tylonal is safe to take in pregnancy

Answer 7

It is okay to take Tylenol for your fever. Tylenol is okay while pregnant. Medically 100.4 is a fever anything lower isn't.

Answer 8

it is safe to take tylenol. your body temp normally does go higher when you are pregnant anyway. they have different brands of tylenol even for colds that you can take. ask your pharmicist which one is best for you or call your doctor and ask

Answer 9

Okay, I'm 19 weeks and I take tylenol and robitussin for coughs. But call ur doctor. I live in Michigan and my doctor is at Henry Ford. So this is one of the best of the best hospitals that u could go to. But contact ur doctor and let her or him know that u have this fever. But it is safe to take tylenol and robitussin. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!
