Patient's question:
Five days after the caesarean section, the body temperature started to fluctuate between 37.5 and 38 degrees. On the 26th day, it was discovered that there was an infection at the incision site, and the hospital reopened the incision to drain the pus. The wound was dressed and cleaned daily, with good nutrition. The sutures on both sides had dissolved into the skin, so there was no need to reopen the incision or perform another debridement. Approximately half of the wound had new tissue growing from the inside, which had now healed. It has been 50 days, and the body temperature has been consistently between 36.8 and 37.4 degrees.Doctor's answer:
Normal human body temperature is generally between 36.3~37.2°C. Your body temperature is not high, and if your metabolism rate is fast due to your physical constitution, your basal body temperature will be higher. It is necessary to compare it with your previous body temperature. Just looking at the body temperature alone cannot confirm how it is transmitted. As long as the original incision drainage is thorough and antibiotics are used, recovery will be normal. The incisions that have not been cut on both sides will definitely not be re-infected. Pay more attention to the wound in daily life, and if there are any abnormal feelings, you can do a blood routine test.
