Patient's question:
Baby is 14 days old, I feel a bit cold, now have a fever of 38.3 degrees, currently no symptoms, slightly itchy skin and headache. I don't know if I should feed the baby while having a fever. Can I still breastfeed with a fever? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
For this situation, it is also acceptable, but avoid taking medication. If you do take medication, you should immediately stop breastfeeding. If you continue to take medication, you must focus on breastfeeding, as it can affect the baby. Currently, you can drink more warm water, eat a light diet, and ask your family to go to a pharmacy outside to buy capsules or Gan Tong tablets for oral antiviral treatment. If your temperature is below 38 degrees, you can take one dose of fever reducer.
