Having a cute baby after marriage, taking care of the baby's health and well-being is the top priority for the family! But what troubles and pains the mother is that the baby has a fever, headache, and is afraid of cold during breastfeeding. What's going on? So what should a mother do if she experiences fever, headache, and fear of cold during breastfeeding, so that her baby's body is not affected? I think the following methods are quite effective in relieving the condition.
What's wrong with fever, headache, and fear of cold during lactation
This situation is likely due to a fever, mainly caused by respiratory infections due to viral infections. After catching a cold and having a fever, in most cases, breastfeeding can be continued, except when the fever persists (body temperature is above 39 ℃), breastfeeding should be paused.
How to treat and relieve fever, headache, and fear of cold during lactation
Soak your feet in hot water. The soaking time doesn't need to be too long, usually 15 minutes is enough. During the process of soaking feet, sweat will be released from the body, making the whole person feel very hot. This is beneficial for the body to dissipate heat and can effectively cool down. Wipe the body with alcohol:
When you have a fever, you can use a towel dipped in alcohol to wipe your body, preferably the neck, armpits, and thighs. Wipe for 5-10 minutes until your skin turns red and warm, then drink two cups of hot water and sweat profusely. After sweating, pay attention to wiping off the sweat, as the fever will quickly subside. You can drink brown sugar ginger tea water, and its preparation method is:
(1) Trim the ginger skin slightly and make sure to remove any rotten areas. Rotten ginger can produce a carcinogenic substance;
(2) Use a planer to grind it into mud or silk, or use a chisel to grind it into granules, as long as it is crushed;
(3) After the ginger is shaved, pour the brown sugar into the ginger bowl;
(4) Mix ginger paste and brown sugar evenly until all the brown sugar is dissolved;
(5) After standing still for ten minutes, steam for half an hour over water. To prevent water vapor from entering, it is best to cover the steam with a lid;
(6) After steaming, let it cool, pack it up and put it in the refrigerator. Dig a spoonful and brew it with boiling water every morning until it recovers twice a day.
What causes fever, headache, and fear of cold during lactation? I believe mothers have gained an understanding. If such a situation really occurs, for the sake of their own physical health and without affecting the baby's health, mothers should act quickly according to the above methods! Of course, if you have a fever, headache, or severe fear of cold during lactation, you must go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in a timely manner! Wishing mothers happiness and children becoming increasingly adorable!
