Question
After weaning, two areas of my breast have turned red, accompanied by fever and mild pain. Is this a symptom of mastitis? How should I handle it?
Answer
On the tenth day after weaning, the breast area showed signs of infection again, which may be about to develop into mastitis. It is recommended to apply cold compresses or undergo physical therapy, and to take cephalosporin antibiotics orally. At the same time, ensure adequate rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly.
