What to do if you have a urinary tract infection while breastfeeding

  When urinary tract infections occur during breastfeeding, specific treatment options should be chosen according to the severity of the urinary tract infection.  If the symptoms of urinary tract infection are relatively mild, treatment can be generally achieved by maintaining local cleanliness and hygiene, drinking more water, urinating more often, and strengthening nutritional support by eating more protein and vitamin-rich foods to improve the body’s immunity. You can also consider applying some prescriptions to treat the condition, such as boiling corn husk in water and taking it in divided doses after boiling, which can also have a good effect without affecting the child.  For urinary tract infections with more serious symptoms or poor treatment results, it is still necessary to consider standard anti-infection treatment, you can go to the hospital urology department, under the guidance of the doctor to choose less impact on the child’s drug treatment, such as some cephalosporin antibiotics, if you are not sure, you can also suspend breastfeeding, to wait for the condition to stabilize after breastfeeding again.  For urinary tract infections during breastfeeding, it is important to intervene in a timely manner and not to delay treatment for fear of affecting breastfeeding.
