Fertility Stories - infertility experiences of people like you.

Actually, it's pretty important to reduce fever in pregnancy, so I wouldn't count on any natural remedies. Take acetaminophen (acamol) - you can try one 500mg pill, which frequently helps, and if it doesn't, take a second one.

Acetaminophen in low-normal doses is considered safe in pregnancy.

Feel well!

If the fever isn't high, she can try a lukewarm (not cold, but not as hot as her body) bath. If after 20-30 minutes, the fever doesn't come down, go for acamol as RachInbar suggested.

Natural remedies can be very dangerous, especially during pregnancy. Don't take any natural remedy without consulting a doctor!

Even something "gentle" like fennel can harm a pregnancy in high doses. (this doesn't mean a single cup of fennel tea or a salad with fennel is dangerous, but it shouldn't be used to "medicate" every day.)

Chicken soup, by the way, is a food, not a natural remedy.
