Hi doctor,
I had a C-section a month ago. I was in induced pain for over 16 hours and had spiked fever due to the medicines which continued after surgery along with night sweats. I was advised to take Dolo 650 and Augmentin 1000 Duo, which I continued to take for 10 to 15 days. But, I was not getting better. Then, I consulted a physician and he advised me for some tests and the ESR came as 70 mm on the first hour and ANA HEp-2 came as positive. The titer showed 1:40 pattern and homogenous, but the blood culture, urine culture and USG abdomen were normal. The doctor advised me to take Ceftas three times a day for 10 days. The fever was subdued, but it started again after two to three days. The temperature keeps around 99 plus (axillary temperature), and I have body aches like needles. Even my internal stitches are painful. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please get yourself checked with a gynecologist. Also,get your wound and breasts be examined by the gynecologist. Usually, this could be due to breast issues or some wound infection. Do get back to me with the reports, so that I can guide you further. Take care.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I was diagnosed with a node in my left breast when I was in class 11 that is, around 14 years ago. The doctor suggested me to have an ultrasound done for the same, and the report said it was just a kind of water bag. The node did not grow. My fever started when I was in labor. How could it be due to breast issue?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The raised temperature during labor could be because of induced labor and as you were in labor for so long and usually subsides post delivery. Post delivery the causes of spikes in temperature is because of few common conditions like breast abscess, infection of lochia, wound infection and urinary tract infection. Rest of the things like you do not have any urinary infection nor any excess lochia, foul smell or itching. I am assuming that it is normal, as you have not mentioned anything about it. I have been ruled out, only wound and breast could be the cause. So, the best judge is your gynecologist, who has to do a complete examination and tell the exact cause of the fever.
