What to do if you have repeated fever after childbirth

What is the reason for repeated fever after childbirth? This situation is multifaceted, and fever after childbirth or during the confinement period should not be taken lightly. It is recommended to take the mother to the hospital. Don't breastfeed your baby for the time being so that you can take the medicine. Secondly, pay attention to the temperature and hygiene of the mother. The causes of fever are urinary tract infection and milk loss. The specific situation depends on the doctor's diagnosis. At this time, the pregnant woman should be given more water.

1. The possibility of urinary tract infection is high, but because it was a caesarean section, the effect of 3-day infusion was not good. It is possible that the postpartum resistance is poor, and the infected bacteria are not sensitive to drugs. In addition, attention should be paid to whether there is infection in the surgical incision and other parts.

It is recommended to continue anti-inflammatory treatment for 2 to 3 days to see the effect. If the fever persists, it may be necessary to change medication, or further check to see if there is any possibility of infection in the surgical site or pelvic cavity. Pay attention to drinking more warm water, strengthening nutrition, and improving physical fitness, which will help the disease to be cured as soon as possible. It is best not to breastfeed for the time being.

Second, the cause of fever is mostly caused by infection, including bacterial infection, viral infection, mycoplasma, chlamydia, fungal infection, etc. It can also be caused by abnormal body temperature center, abnormal skin heat dissipation, absorption of sterile necrotic substances, etc.

You can first take acetaminophen orally, drink plenty of water, and take Isatis leaf oral solution orally. If you feel unwell, you can have a follow-up check at any time and be hospitalized if necessary.

3. What is the reason for repeated fever during confinement?

Generally, non-pathological fever lasts no more than 12 hours and can subside naturally. Pathological fever, the primary cause: postpartum reproductive system infection (vaginitis, metritis, adnexal pelvic inflammatory disease), will cause increased lochia in the lower body, odor, and lower abdominal distension and pain.

In addition, fever can also be seen in mastitis (breast swelling and pain, poor lactation), colds (nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, sneezing), and urinary tract infections (frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating).

You said your wife only has a fever and other conditions are normal. I can't tell the reason for the moment, but a temperature of 38.4 is a bit high. Please seek medical attention in time. My advice is for reference only. If it is a reproductive system infection during the postpartum period, please treat it well. If it turns into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it will be much more difficult to treat. Pay attention to rest and nutrition.

As mentioned above, I hope to give patients and their families a reference. After childbirth, the mother's body is very weak in all aspects. At this time, the husband and family should pay attention to care to avoid leaving any future troubles. It is difficult to cure the root of the disease left during the confinement period. The second thing is to find out the cause of the fever and prescribe the right medicine. Don't delay the disease as it will cause great harm to the mother.
