How to reduce fever caused by milking

Mother's love is like a mountain and like an ocean. There is no love in the world that can surpass mother's love. The greatness of mother's love lies not only in the ten months of pregnancy and the long journey of raising a child. It is more about nurturing infants, especially for mothers who need to go to work at the same time. In order to go to work, they have to express milk to feed their infants, but what should they do if they unfortunately have a fever during this period?

1. Can I breastfeed if I have a fever during lactation?

1. You can breastfeed if you have a low fever (i.e. body temperature below 37.7℃). If you need to take medicine, you must take it in a regular hospital under the guidance of a doctor. And it should be taken after breastfeeding, avoid breastfeeding when the drug content in breast milk is high. Breastfeeding should not be done within 6 hours after taking the medicine.

2. Mild colds can be cured through the body's self-regulation, or by taking appropriate medications, such as isatis root, antiviral oral liquid and some antibiotics.

3. If the baby has a high fever (i.e. the body temperature exceeds 38°C), it is not suitable to breastfeed. You need to go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time. In order to avoid affecting the secretion of milk, you need to express milk more than three times a day.

4. The bedroom needs to be disinfected frequently to avoid virus accumulation. The room needs more ventilation. It is not advisable to leave the baby in the patient's room for a long time. If necessary, the baby can be transferred to other rooms to avoid virus infection. It is necessary to disinfect the room regularly. Boil vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:1, and fumigate the room for 4-6 hours with the doors and windows closed. This can effectively disinfect the room.

2. Can I get an injection if I have a fever during breastfeeding?

1. If a new mother has a fever, it is recommended not to take medication as much as possible. It is better to reduce the fever through physical methods.

2. If the high fever persists, seek medical attention promptly and receive necessary treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. If injectable medication is used for treatment, breastfeeding must be temporarily stopped. This is to prevent large amounts of drug ingredients from entering breast milk, thus affecting the healthy growth and development of the baby.

4. How to prevent fever during breastfeeding

1. Keep warm

Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to keeping warm and ensure that they are in a warm and comfortable environment to avoid catching a cold. If the ambient temperature is low, you can turn on the air conditioner or heater to create the most suitable indoor temperature. It is best to maintain the indoor temperature between 20℃ and 24℃.

2. Maintain proper humidity

The indoor environment for breastfeeding mothers should not be too dry. Due to the use of air conditioning in winter and other reasons, the indoor humidity decreases, which can easily cause discomfort to the human body and cause symptoms such as sore throat, dry mouth and tongue. Mothers who have the conditions can buy a humidifier or place a basin of water in the room. The air humidity is most suitable at 60%.

3. Keep indoor ventilation

The room should not be closed for too long. It is best to open the doors and windows for ventilation 2-3 times a day, each time for about half an hour. Keeping the indoor air circulating can reduce the accumulation of influenza viruses, prevent virus infection, and play a preventive role. When ventilating, be careful to avoid direct exposure to flowing cold air, which may cause breastfeeding mothers and newborns to catch a cold, so it is best to move them to other rooms.

4. Get enough rest

Women should ensure enough sleep every day. A good sleep can allow the body to get sufficient rest. Appropriate healthy entertainment and a good and pleasant mood can improve the quality of rest, thereby increasing their own immunity and maintaining a healthy state.

5. Eat a healthy diet

Comprehensive nutritional supplementation and a reasonable and balanced diet are particularly important. More attention should be paid to a reasonable diet, eating more vegetables and fruits, supplementing dietary fiber and multiple vitamins, so as to maintain the body's normal metabolic activities and enhance the body's immunity. Drink plenty of water to replenish water and promote detoxification.

6. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Change bedding frequently, and clean and disinfect sheets and clothes to avoid the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Dry clothes and quilts frequently to kill germs and serve as disinfectants.
