Does medication for breast inflammation during lactation affect the infant?

Patient's question:

Does the medication for lactating breast affect the baby? The child has been in this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can use cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs during breastfeeding, and it has little impact on breastfeeding. Additionally, you can also consider using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, which is quite effective. The treatment involves intravenous infusion to administer antibiotics for infection control. At the same time, local heat application or physical therapy can be used to promote inflammation absorption. It is recommended to use a breast pump to express milk, which can help reduce pain caused by manual squeezing. Pay attention to local hygiene and care for cracked nipples, as this will facilitate early recovery.
