Question
There’s a white spot on the nipple, and it’s particularly painful for the baby to feed. The milk is also stuck, and it can’t be expelled on its own. I’ve applied red mold ointment and cold compresses to the affected area, but there has been no improvement, and there are symptoms of fever and headache. What is a quick treatment method?
Answer
The recurrence of a white spot on the nipple may be due to milk duct blockage, thrush, or other causes. It is recommended to use cold compresses, soak in warm water, apply olive oil compresses, or seek professional help to remove the milk blockage. If the situation does not improve, it may be necessary for a doctor to pierce the white spot and pay attention to any signs of mastitis. It is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
