Patient's question:
Postpartum Day 105, I encountered clogged milk ducts while breastfeeding. Some milk has returned, but there are still hard lumps. The lactation consultant suggested drinking dandelion tea?Doctor's answer:
Currently, your condition is a breast lump caused by milk stasis. It is important to actively perform aspiration to prevent inflammation and fever. It is recommended that you use a breast pump to express milk through the blocked milk ducts. If you develop a fever, you should take anti-inflammatory medication to treat it and increase the frequency of your child correctly feeding on milk. If the situation worsens, it is best to seek medical treatment. I advise you to pay close attention to rest and avoid spicy foods.
