Can a mother with low-grade fever breastfeed?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want it to be like this. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask if a mother with low-grade fever can breastfeed.

Doctor's answer:

Low-grade fever is safe to breastfeed with. The mother should drink more plain water, and can use physical cooling methods or boil some brown sugar ginger water to drink. Sweating can help reduce the fever, and it usually goes down. Rest well.
There are many factors that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
