Yes its ok to breastfeed in fever

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is common to have some infections during pregnancy and lactation. It is ok o breastfeed during such mild infections. You have to take medicines and antibiotics judiciously during this period.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Doctor,
Thank you for your response.
I have taken DOLO 650 one tablet and fever seems to be gone.
Can you tell me if the paracetamol that I consume will also affect the baby as I feed.? The baby seems to be drowsy post me feeding her.

Brief Answer:
Paracetamol will not affect baby

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Paracetamol in Dolo will not affect the baby. The drowsiness in baby is not related to dolo 650. If the medicine contains some antiallergic like chlorpheniramine as in Dolo-Cold, then it may cause drowsiness. So you may check for the composition in the medicine.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
