Question
What should I do if the body temperature of a mother fluctuates after childbirth?
Answer
The body temperature of a mother is usually normal immediately after giving birth. However, starting from the sixth day, the temperature may fluctuate, with highs reaching 39.1℃ and lows at 38.1℃. The mother may be suffering from an illness, possibly an infection in some part of her body by pathogens. In such cases, it is necessary to bring the mother to the hospital for a re-examination to locate the pathogen and confirm its presence through blood tests. Treatment should then be administered based on the results.
