Patient's question:
[Female, 25 years old] Hello doctor, my daughter has had a cesarean section for ten days. She has been having a fever in the afternoon, mostly between 37.5 and 38 degrees. Her wound has not healed well after suture removal; it is said to be fat liquefaction. The uterine ultrasound was also thorough, and the recovery is good. The blood test results are also normal. Hello, what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if your daughter had a normal cesarean section, it should be around ten days before this fever reappears. If the fever reappears within 2 to 3 days after the surgery, it is a normal phenomenon and part of the recovery process. However, if she is experiencing persistent high fever, it could be due to a viral infection or lung inflammation, and further examination is recommended. For severe postpartum patients, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on over-the-counter medications to treat the condition, as this could worsen the situation.
