How to reduce fever of 39 during confinement

There are many reasons for fever during confinement. In clinical care, it can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. For fever, it is necessary to first identify the cause and resolve the cause.

If you have a high fever during confinement, it may not be a high fever. It may be a fever caused by mastitis. Do you have breast pain? If so, you must empty the breasts as soon as possible. The milk cannot be fed to the baby. Suck the breasts clean every day. Do not leave any milk inside, which can easily cause mastitis. You can take medicine, but it is best not to feed the baby after taking the medicine. The actual medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Common questions about confinement:

1. Ensure rest: Because childbirth will cause extreme physical and mental fatigue to the mother, the first thing after childbirth is to let the mother sleep well, and relatives should not disturb her at will. After going to bed, you should eat some nutritious and easily digestible food and drink plenty of water. During the "month-old" or breastfeeding period, you should eat high-nutrition, high-calorie, and easily digestible foods to promote rapid recovery and ensure sufficient milk.

2. Wake up as soon as possible: Under normal circumstances, women who give birth vaginally should wake up the next day after giving birth. But be careful not to catch a fever or catch a cold, and avoid colds. You can do some simple exercises or postpartum gymnastics every day under the guidance of medical staff, which will help to restore and maintain a stable figure.

3. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene: Since pregnant women have more waste in the perineum, wash the vulva with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate aqueous solution every day. Replace the perineum pad and keep the perineum clean and dry. Sweating, wash your hair, feet, change underwear frequently, and keep your face clean. Bathing should be done with a shower to prevent contamination from entering the vagina. If you eat more and eat more, and you don't pay attention to rinsing your mouth, it is easy to cause bacteria in the mouth and cause dental diseases. The room is generally ventilated naturally, and the indoor temperature should not be too high or too low. In the past, closing windows and doors was generally risky. It is very dangerous when mothers need to cover themselves very thickly, especially in summer, which can easily cause heat stroke in mothers.

4. Breastfeed as soon as possible: Pregnant women have swollen and swollen breasts after delivery. Breastfeeding in the early stage helps stimulate milk secretion, so that future breastfeeding has a good start; it also promotes uterine contraction and recovery. Before and after exclusive breastfeeding, mothers should pay special attention to keeping their hands, nipples and breasts clean to prevent breast infection and newborn gastrointestinal infection.

Taboos during confinement:

In some areas, it is widely believed that you cannot brush your teeth, wash your hair, or take a bath during the confinement period. There is no scientific evidence to support this. You still need to pay attention to hygiene during the confinement period. In terms of diet, avoid cold food, sour and salty food, watch TV, cry, lift, wash with cold water, feel tired, and have sex.
