Question
I was exposed to the wind and developed a fever, with a hard lump on my left breast. The breast pump cannot clear the blockage. How can I solve the hard lump and continue breastfeeding?
Answer
Considering that it is likely a case of mastitis caused by a cold, it is advisable to maintain a positive mood, drink plenty of water, and allow the baby to suckle more frequently or use hot compresses to alleviate the hard lump. If no medication has been taken, breastfeeding can be continued directly. If feverish symptoms appear, it is recommended to take your temperature and take oral medication while applying cold compresses to the affected area.
