Fever in breast feeding mother

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you wife is suffering from fever and despite taking acetaminophen her fever is still elevating. In her cause you can still use aspirin or ibuprofen to help with the fever. You can alternate between acetaminophen and ibuprofen ever two hours to help reduce the fever.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
