mommyNg:Hi Kelvin, The best way is to call and check with your gynae whether it is ok for your pregnant wife to take the medicine as prescribed. And do it NOW! Was the doctor aware that your wife is pregnant? I had a fever when I was pregnant with my second child a few years back, prob around 7-8 weeks. I didn't call my gynae but I talked to my pharmacy (Pharm D.) friend and she said the best is not to take any medication and let the fever wear out. I should have called my gynae, but I didn't, and I thought yeah, maybe I should just wear the fever out. Then my fever went away, but only after experiencing some chills in the night of the fever. Then maybe 2-3 days later, I recovered from the fever and I realized I didn't feel morning sickness anymore, and went for my regular gynae checkup, and my gynae found that there was no more heartbeat of the foetus I can't say (nor could the gynae) whether it was the fever that cost the life of the foetus, or maybe it was some other abnormality. But I must say, check with your gynae when in doubt - no small matter...Hope your wife is feeling ok now and the baby is safe.We be going to see the gynae in 2 weeks time. My fren's wife had a miscarriage becos she had dengue....as told by the hospital it was the dengue that caused the loss of the baby and not the panadol...becos with dengue nothing much the docs etc can do for her it seems.
