Patient's question:
Fourth day after cesarean section, fever reappeared. Had high blood pressure before pregnancy. Currently in the intensive care unit. Checked the incision, internal debris, and breasts, all normal, but still has fever. No fever source found. Blood test shows low protein, but incision has inflammation and infection. Doctor asked to closely monitor. Already in intensive care for 2 days, no fever source found. Before the fever, the patient was taking antihypertensive drugs (captopril and nifedipine) and had received magnesium sulfate.Hello, what could be the cause of the fever?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. This should be a hospitalization for preeclampsia. Are the white blood cells and C-reactive protein elevated? Hello? How high was the fever? If the white blood cells and infectious indicators are not high, there are no signs of infection in the incision. It is indeed necessary to closely monitor the postpartum patient in addition to timely treatment. The patient also needs to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for a complete recovery from the illness.
