High fever in pregnancy
Hello.
I am 8 weeks pregnant..and I have viral fever..fever is going upto 101-102..I have to take paracetamol 650 mg but fever is coming after every 4-5 hrs...I am taking paracetamol from last two days after every 4-5 hrs and feeling very weak...
Will this high dose of paracetamol in my 8 weeks of pregnancy effects the baby? because everywhere it's written not to take any medicine in the first 3 months...
If there is 1% chance also of baby getting effected, then plz let me know...

Paracetamol is time tested and does not affect the baby.
Very high fever can affect the baby.
