Patient's question:
Postpartum fever after ten days of cesarean section, other tests are normal. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Metronidazole + Cefotaxime + AM. Sometimes high fever, sometimes normal. What is the reason?Doctor's answer:
After 10 days of cesarean section surgery, fever reappears. We usually consider:1. It may be due to an infection at the surgical incision.
2. It could be caused by milk stasis in the breasts leading to acute mastitis.
Therefore, it is necessary to examine the surgical incision area and breasts first. If any abnormalities are found, prompt and proper treatment should be administered. Otherwise, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The doctor will then provide correct and systematic treatment based on the results. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
