Question
I had a fever of 39℃ after 40 days postpartum and received a small injection. How long after stopping the medication can I safely breastfeed without affecting the baby? Will breastfeeding affect the baby?
Answer
The duration for stopping medication should be based on the type of injection administered, with a general recommendation to wait a day after stopping medication before breastfeeding again. Meanwhile, the mother should drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and her body temperature may fluctuate for three to four days. Medications that do not affect breastfeeding can be used, and the situation should be closely monitored.
