Patient's question:
Today I had a C-section almost two months ago and suddenly had a low fever for five days. Medication didn't bring down the temperature. Blood tests showed C-reactive protein levels over 200—is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
From the careful examination results, it appears that the inflammation is quite severe, and intravenous fluid treatment would be much faster. It is recommended to choose a sensitive antibiotic based on the examination results. In this case, it is best not to change the baby's diaper for now, encourage more fluids, and address the symptoms accordingly. Oral medication can be taken if necessary. The patient should face the risks of cesarean section and actively undergo examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If the cesarean section condition does not improve with treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
