The woman may feel very hot to the touch, start to shiver, have a severe headache, or feel her whole body aching. Any fever during pregnancy needs attention — a high temperature can harm the baby&#039;s development and is usually a sign of an infection that needs treatment.<br /> <br /> Common causes of fever in pregnancy include malaria, urinary tract infection, and other illnesses. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature — do not guess by touch alone. Paracetamol tablets are safe during pregnancy and will bring the temperature down while you arrange to go to the PHC. Always find the cause — never just treat the fever and stop.<br /> <br /> {{Action Steps|<br /> * Check the temperature with a thermometer<br /> * Take one Paracetamol tablet and drink plenty of fluids<br /> * Tell your ASHA the same day the fever starts<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Go to the PHC the same day if temperature is 38°C or above, or if it does not come down&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Referral Pathway<br /> | step1 = ASHA<br /> | step2 = PHC<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Risk Window|<br /> The fever becomes dangerous when it has lasted more than 24 hours without coming down, when it reaches 38.5°C or above, or when it comes with a very severe headache, stiff neck, rash, or difficulty breathing. &#039;&#039;&#039;Any fever in pregnancy lasting more than one day must be assessed at the PHC on the same day&#039;&#039;&#039; to find and treat the cause.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- REVIEW: The printed card states the danger threshold as 38°C. India MoHFW PMSMA &quot;High-Risk Conditions in Pregnancy&quot; sets the high-risk pregnancy flag at fever &gt;38.5°C for &gt;24 hours. Both thresholds are included: 38°C as the trigger for same-day ASHA/PHC contact; 38.5°C sustained &gt;24 hrs as the high-risk-pregnancy escalation threshold. --&gt;<br /> <br /> == Khasi audio guide ==<br /> <br /> {{Audio Guide|file=Body_Feels_Hot_Khasi.mp3|duration=2:00}}<br /> <br /> == Related cards ==<br /> <br /> * [[Burning_Urine|Burning Urine]] — urinary infection is a common cause of fever in pregnancy<br /> * [[Severe_Headache_with_Vision_Disturbed|Severe Headache with Vision Disturbed]] — severe headache with fever may signal a serious infection<br /> * [[Cannot_Eat_or_Drink|Cannot Eat or Drink]] — fever often stops eating and drinking<br /> <br /> {{Emergency Footer}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Symptom Cards]]<br /> [[Category:Yellow Alert]]<br /> [[Category:Pre-existing]]</div>
