Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, 105 days postpartum, and I am breastfeeding. I have developed a clogged milk duct and some milk has come back down. What should I do about the hard lumps?Doctor's answer:
No, in your current situation, it is due to milk stasis causing breast hardness. You should actively perform milk expression to prevent inflammation and fever. I suggest using a breast pump to clear the blocked milk ducts. If you have a fever, you should take anti-inflammatory medication for treatment and appropriately increase the frequency of your child's feeding. It is recommended that you relax your mindset, pay attention to rest, and enhance your nutrition. Drinking dandelion decoction is okay, and you can also use raw malt as a substitute for tea.
