Answer
If you have a fever on the tenth day postpartum, it is advisable to go to the hospital immediately to check for the cause of the fever, whether it’s an infection during the puerperium or another reason. Although you are breastfeeding, you can still safely use antibiotics for treatment, such as intravenous penicillin. Follow your doctor’s advice for treatment to recover health as soon as possible.
