Patient's question:
I've been giving birth for 24 days now. In the past two days, I've been feeling cold and shivering, followed by a high fever of 39 degrees. At 15 days, I used a belly binder and felt uncomfortable with frequent urination. After removing it, I felt better the next day. Last night, I had pain during urination, which might be a urinary tract infection. What medication can I take? For follow-up, it seems not just an ultrasound will be done. Can I breastfeed in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if there are symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria, but without fever, it is considered a urinary tract infection. It is best to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to determine whether it is a lower urinary tract infection or an upper urinary tract infection. If there is nephritis, timely treatment should be implemented. If it is only a lower urinary tract infection, many cephalosporin-class anti-infective drugs can be taken orally. Using cephalosporin-class anti-infective drugs is acceptable while breastfeeding.
