First time pregnant mom question

Abbey

I have a 99.5 fever. Tried taking medicine and threw up. I’m worried as I’m 11 weeks pregnant. Should I seek medical attention or just get some rest? Thanks in advance ladies ❤️

Get some rest. 99.5 is still low grade. There's nothing a medical professional will be able to do for you other than hand you a bill for showing up. Drink some water, go lay down.

I would just get some rest. Your body temp is already slightly elevated because you’re pregnant but that’s a very low grade fever and there’s nothing the doctor could even do for you.

I would continue taking Tylenol according to the directions on the bottle, drink fluids, try to get test, monitor that temperature & if needed get in a cool bath to get your temperature down if it gets too high.

I had a TERRIBLE sinus infection from around weeks 5-9, with a fever of like 100.5. It sucks but Tylenol, LOTS of fluids and rest should help you some😊

I would just take some Tylenol and get some rest for now! If it continues through tomorrow would call your doctor. Hope you feel better soon!

Oops I read that you threw up your meds. Just rest and drink water/Gatorade then! 99.5 isn’t really a fever, so you’re ok for now.

Thank you! Tried taking some Tylenol and immediately threw it up.

A fever is considered anything over 100.4, so this really isn’t a temp. You do run a higher base temperature when pregnant. Nothing to worry about :)
