fever

[PaytonFaith]

I've had a fever of 101.5 for 4 days in a row! I am miserable: ( gotta sore throat, nasty cough a fever, body aches, puking. I can't eat anything and barely drink anything cuz it hurts. I called the ob at the er two days ago and she said there's nothing they'd be able to do. She said to drink plenty of water and strictly only use tylenol. I've been doing what she said plus laying in bed and taking baths to try and sweat it out plus I've been eating cough drops left and right. I have no idea how I got sick and am
Scared for my baby. I'm 31 weeks. Any advice on what I should do!?!

You may have the flu. I would call her back, tell her this has been going on for a week now, and that tylenol is not breaking the fever at all. If she doesn't want to do anything still then call your regular doc and get an appt with them to get checked out and make sure you are not dehydrated.

Just keep drinking water and rest. Being sick isn't going to hurt your baby as long as you keep hydrated and take your prenatals.
