2. 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.

3. Drink more water if you have a fever during breastfeeding. If you have a fever during breastfeeding, you can use physical cooling methods. Soak a cotton towel in warm water, wring it until half dry, and gently wipe the whole body. If the fever persists, see a doctor and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine that will not affect breastfeeding.

4. Do not feed the baby if the fever is above 38.5. The mother should drink more water, stay away from the baby as much as possible, wear a mask, and boil some vinegar at home to kill bacteria in the air. The baby's resistance is too low at this time. The mother should take some antipyretic drugs. Stop feeding the baby during the medication period.

5. You can use Isatis Root Granules and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid. If there is no improvement, you can only inject penicillin. Remember to wear a mask when breastfeeding or close to the baby to prevent infection. Also, the room must be ventilated.

Get medical treatment as soon as possible. It's fine to breastfeed as long as the temperature doesn't exceed 38 degrees.
