Can mothers with a fever breastfeed?

Patient's question:

Yesterday afternoon, I had a high fever of 38.8 degrees. In the evening, I took Qingkailing soft capsules, Qingwen Jiedu tablets, and one Anpain. This morning, the temperature is 37.8 degrees. Can the baby eat breast milk?

Doctor's answer:

These drugs or their metabolites may be excreted through breast milk and accumulate in breast milk. If a child is breastfed, it may have adverse effects on their health. It is recommended not to breastfeed during medication. At least wait until 4 days after stopping the medication, when the drug has been fully metabolized in the body, before breastfeeding. This is more beneficial for the baby's health. The above advice is for the question "Can a breastfeeding mother with a high fever breastfeed her baby?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
