Take Tylenol for right now. Call the on-call doctor if it gets over 101. Take a cool bath and use cool compresses.
You are really past the stage where a fever could do serious damage, but you still need to keep it down under 100 if possible.
Hope you feel better soon!

Zithromax is good for the cold symptoms, but I thought you'd have to take something else for the fever.
You may want to call again, to see if you can take a fever reducer.

Watch what you take when you are pregnant, and if you have a fever I recommend taking a luke warm bath, getting some rest and take something to reduce it. Whatever your doctor recommends.

I would just keep an eye on it and if it starts to get worse I would contact your OB or the on call doc. good luck!!

If that feaver gets much higher I would go because it will make the wome warmer then the baby needs it to be and that is bad.

just do everything your doctor told you to do.
what he prescribed should work or he wouldnt have given it to you.
take your meds & be sure to get a lot of rest.

IF YOU WENT TO THE OB AND THEY GAVE YOU SOMETHING THEN I WOULD TAKE IT, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING THAT WILL HARM THE BABY.AND IF THAT DON'T WORK, MAYBE THEN YOU SHOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
