20 days after a C-section, I have been exclusively breastfeeding. Last night, I was expressing milk from my breasts.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Fever is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics. Simply using fever-reducing medication is treating the symptoms, not the root cause. It is recommended to check a blood test at the hospital to determine the cause before treatment. Drink more water regularly. If the temperature is too high, you can take fever-reducing medications such as Motrin or Naproxen orally for treatment.
