Question
The vomited milk looks just like thick mucus; is it inflammation? It’s been a fever for a day now, now at 38 degrees. What should I do? Should I go to the hospital immediately, or should I carefully observe? Should I stop breastfeeding on this side, while focusing on breastfeeding on the other?
Answer
Hello, there is breast pain and inflammation during breastfeeding, with a low fever of over 38 degrees. You can take oral paracetamol and ceftriaxone. Stop breastfeeding. It is recommended that you use a warm towel for cold compress on the breasts, perform clockwise massage, and can take ceftriaxone, metronidazole, or receive intramuscular injections of ceftriaxone for treatment. First stop breastfeeding and use a breast pump to express all the milk. For the low fever, you can receive intramuscular injections for fever reduction.
