Patient's question:
The child is now one year old. I don't know what's going on, but the nipple is cracked very severely. The child can't bear the pain when feeding, and I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Treatment: 1. Use a glass bell to cover the nipple, or wrap the nipple with sterile gauze to avoid contact, to reduce pain. Suggestions: 2. Change underwear frequently to keep it dry. 3. Clean the nipple and areola with warm water before and after breastfeeding. Apply fish liver oil bismuth ointment or compound benzoin ointment to the cracked area after breastfeeding.
