After giving birth a few days ago, I had a high fever. In these past few years, my immunity has been particularly poor.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, fever of 38~39 degrees Celsius occurs on the third or fourth day after delivery, known as lactation fever, which usually subsides within 4 to 16 hours. If it persists for several days, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a complete blood count test to determine whether it is caused by a bacterial infection or a cold. The most common cause of fever in the early postpartum period is dehydration. However, if low-grade fever appears after 2 to 3 days and then high fever suddenly occurs, infection should be considered.
