Patient's question:
After giving birth, the mother's temperature was normal. On the sixth day, it fluctuated suddenly, reaching as high as 39.1℃ and dropping to 38.1℃. It has been fluctuating like this, never reaching above 38℃. How can this be resolved? What could be the cause of the fever?Doctor's answer:
When a woman gives birth, her body temperature is normal. However, on the sixth day, her temperature fluctuates, with high readings reaching 39.1 degrees and low readings dropping to 38.1 degrees. She is sick, possibly due to a recurrence of pathogens infecting a certain part of her body. In this case, it is necessary to take the mother to the hospital for a follow-up examination to determine which part of her body has been infected by pathogens. Blood tests should be conducted to identify the specific pathogens, and treatment should be administered based on the results.
