Patient's question:
Mother has a high fever of 38.4 degrees, and without taking medicine, she has breastfed the baby three times. What kind of help do you care about: Changing the diaper for the baby with a high fever without taking medicine, hello, does it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Feeling a high fever of 38.4 degrees, without taking any medication, I fed the baby three times. It's generally not a big deal. With normal fever or slight warmth, mothers can still feel at ease changing the diaper. But be mindful to drink more water to avoid milk extraction, which may lead to the child having diarrhea. Some mothers with fever may experience an increase in milk production, allowing them to feed the baby more frequently. After a few days, the milk supply will return to normal. If the fever is severe, with high temperatures persisting and significant energy depletion, the mother should stop breastfeeding, express the milk, heat it up, and then feed it to the baby, or let the child drink formula milk for a period of time.If the mother needs to take medication, it depends on what medication and how it should be taken. The diaper changing routine should be adjusted accordingly.
