Need not worry, continue the medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Your symptoms fit into usual seasonal flu. There is no need to worry, the symptoms may be tough to bear but they do subside on medication after 2-3 days.

Such infections are common in post childbirth, as there occur few changes in the immunity.

Continue the medication, you must be placed on antibiotics. If not please do discuss about the same with the doctor you visit tomorrow.

I would like to know what medication you are put on, I shall confirm whether they are of help.

Waiting for your response,
