Maternal early sepsis
Last week I was diagnosed with early sepsis. 12 days postpartum. At first I was diagnosed with a uti but the bacteria that grew in my blood was not from a uti and from an infection in my uterus. I still had high levels of infection in my urine so they believe I had both. I was on iv antibiotics and fluids for 5 days and have been home for 4 days now on amoxicillin clauv acid. The bacteria in my blood was cleared in the last test before I was able to go home. I obviously have been feeling pretty awful since which they said was to be expected. I’ve had low grade fevers until a few hours ago when I had the chills and then a fever spike to 39.1 after taking some Panadol it’s down to 38.5. I’m quite unsure on what to do. If I need to go back to my ED. Or is it possibly an effect of post sepsis.
