The main symptoms of puerperal fever include abnormal lochia after childbirth, accompanied by fever, pain at the urethral opening, and frequent urination. Due to individual differences in physical condition, the symptoms may vary. If a patient develops fever during the puerperal period, timely anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Close observation is necessary during treatment, with regular monitoring of body temperature.
