Patient's question:
Except for suddenly developing a fever of 38°C on the fifth day after giving birth, I have breast pain but no milk production and have been taking Chaihu injection and Yanli Xiao capsules. Can I breastfeed the child? No, I need to wait several hours after taking the medication before breastfeeding. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Suggest stopping breastfeeding, conduct a blood routine test, and consider it may be caused by breast inflammation. Oral cephalosporin antibiotics can be administered, and the breasts should be kept clean and dry. Massage, cold compresses, and manual expression of the breast can be performed to prevent milk accumulation. Avoid smoked, spicy, and irritating foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in fiber like cabbage, chives, and celery, to maintain regular bowel movements. Once the body temperature returns to normal, breastfeeding can be resumed three days later.
