Patient's question:
Breastfeeding with a fever now, body temperature is 37.6°C. Can I breastfeed the baby? If the temperature is high, can I take compound zinc and bismuth granules? How much should I take? How long after the fever subsides can I breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
There are two situations for fever during lactation: mastitis or other infections. It is necessary to check the cause. If there is breast engorgement and pain, there may be a case of mastitis. Currently, breastfeeding is possible in this situation. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take fever-reducing medication. Taking one packet is sufficient, but it is not recommended to take compound zinc and bismuth particles, as acetylsalicylic acid alone is sufficient. If you have breast-related diseases, avoid getting angry and maintain a good mindset.
