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 can breastfeed the baby while having 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 must immediately stop breastfeeding. If you continue to take medication, you should focus on breastfeeding, as it may 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 purchase capsules or Gan Tong tablets for oral antiviral treatment. If your temperature is below 38 degrees, take one tablet of fever reducer.
