Test results: The doctor suspected postpartum heatstroke and used fever-reducing medication, physical cooling. Tianqian, anti-inflammatory suppositories. Why did I get a fever?Doctor's answer:

I don't know if you are currently breastfeeding, but it is recommended that you implement anti-inflammatory treatment. It is suggested that oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin can be used (as long as there is no allergy, it has minimal impact on the child, and its half-life is short, taking a maximum of seven hours to be completely metabolized from the body, thus having little effect on breastfeeding. Alternatively, penicillin treatment can also be considered.
