Patient's question:
I have a high fever now. I just went to the community health clinic, and the doctor prescribed Amoxicillin and Xiao Chai Hu Granules for me. I want to ask, since I am breastfeeding, will it affect the baby? Worried!Doctor's answer:
Mom has a cold and a fever. If it's not high fever that doesn't break, and if she doesn't lose a lot of energy, she can still breastfeed the child. Because the child has already inevitably come into contact with the bacteria Mom carries through daily touch, and has developed a certain antibody against it. So with normal fever or slight warmth, Mom can still feel at ease changing the baby's diaper. But be mindful to drink more water to avoid milk extraction, which may lead to the child having diarrhea.
