My wife is 6 weeks pregnant and has had a fever of around 99-100 since yesterday. I'm really concerned about what might be going on. We had her urine culture done twice, and the results showed proteus the first time and citrobacter the next. She doesn't have any UTI symptoms though. Can you give some advice on this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried.

ask her to take plenty of water
