Patient's question:
After cesarean section, I have had a low-grade fever. It has been persisting from the afternoon to the evening, with a temperature above 37 degrees Celsius. My blood tests are normal, but I experience night sweats. What could be the cause?Treatment history and effectiveness: Currently, I am being treated for a cold with Amoxicillin and Qingkailing, but there has been no improvement. What could have caused this?
Doctor's answer:
In the case of high fever after cesarean section, based on your description, it is highly likely that inflammation is the cause. Currently, it is recommended to undergo a blood test to check for elevated white blood cell counts. I suspect there may be postpartum infection, so it is important to treat it promptly. If left untreated, it could lead to sepsis or other complications, posing a risk to life.In addition to treatment for the cesarean section, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
