Patient's question:
Breastfeeding mother, you started feeling feverish yesterday afternoon and have been below 38.3°C. Last night, you took Panadol Yellow and Cefixime. It was 37.5°C at around 11 PM, and it's been 38.3°C from 3 PM until now. How can you get treatment without delaying breastfeeding? Your baby is one week and seven days old. He also had a fever yesterday and took one-sixth of Panadol Yellow in the morning and afternoon. He hasn’t had a fever since the afternoon until now. Do you still need to give him medicine today? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described. Breastfeeding with a fever of 38.3 degrees, if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you need to take fever-reducing medication, apply fever patches, use physical cooling methods, and drink plenty of warm water. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you don't need to take fever-reducing medication. Use fever patches, physical cooling methods, and drink plenty of warm water. It is recommended that you use fever patches and physical cooling methods, which means using a warm towel to wipe your entire body, including your forehead, neck, chest, back, groin, armpits, limbs, etc. Each wipe should last more than ten minutes, monitor the temperature data, and drink plenty of warm water.
