How to treat a sore throat with fever during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

I am a breastfeeding mother. Since last night, I've had a fever of 38.4°C, and I still have a slight fever in the morning. Now I just have a sore throat and feel very weak. What should I do now? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to your current symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, and fatigue, which may indicate an upper respiratory infection. In this case, it is recommended that you definitely need medication treatment. Delaying treatment may lead to the transmission of the illness to your baby. Since you are breastfeeding, it is advised that you can take cephalosporin-based medications for treatment. After taking these medications orally, there is absolutely no risk of interfering with your child's health if the child does not exhibit any allergic reactions. Additionally, monitor your fever.
