How to reduce fever quickly during breastfeeding

Having a fever while breastfeeding is really a hassle. On the one hand, mothers worry that their babies will be infected due to their poor resistance, and on the other hand, they worry that they will starve if they cannot breastfeed. So, how to reduce fever during breastfeeding? Here I will explain to all new mothers how to reduce fever during breastfeeding.

1. If you have a fever during breastfeeding, it is best to go to the hospital outpatient department for a blood test to check whether it is a bacterial fever or a gynecological fever. Gynecological fever is what we usually call breast milk.

2. If the fever during lactation is caused by bacterial infection, you can take some cold granules. If the milk is squeezed, which is common during breastfeeding, you can go to a professional maternal and child health care hospital to get some antiviral drugs. During this period, breastfeeding should be stopped.

3. In addition, if the milk is squeezed, the breast milk that cannot flow out of the breast should be drained out as much as possible. This can relieve the pressure on the breast and help reduce inflammation.

4. Drink more water if you have a fever during breastfeeding. If you have a low fever during breastfeeding, you can use physical cooling methods. Soak a cotton towel in warm water, wring it until dry, and gently wipe the whole body. If the fever persists, go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine that has no effect on breastfeeding.

What Chinese medicine can I take for fever during breastfeeding?

I believe that many mothers will ask, can I take some medicine to relieve the fever during breastfeeding? In fact, for mothers who have a fever during breastfeeding, it is best not to take medication, because the medication will affect the baby through breast milk. Next, let's talk about this issue in detail.

1. It is best not to take medicine for fever during breastfeeding. You can reduce fever physically, drink more water, rest more, and pay attention to your diet. It is better not to eat too greasy and irritating foods, which is beneficial to the body's recovery.

2. If you have a fever during breastfeeding, you can apply a wet cotton towel and wipe your whole body many times to reduce the fever physically. You can also apply hot nipples and use a manual breast pump to express milk. The mammary ducts will be opened and the fever will go down. Another thing is to drink more water. If the body temperature is too high, you can use antipyretic drugs appropriately.

3. If the fever persists or the fever is high, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

4. If you need to take medicine, you should choose some medicines that have little effect on breast milk, such as cold granules, isatis root granules, shuanghuanglian oral liquid, etc. If the fever or cold worsens, you must see a doctor immediately and take medicine according to the doctor's orders. In theory, all medicines taken by the mother will enter the breast milk, but generally the concentration is very low and the amount is very small, which has little effect on the baby. However, it is safer to use under the doctor's instructions.
