Patient's question:
When the baby was a month old, she developed mastitis and took a large amount of antibiotics. One month later, a 4.72.5CM milk cyst formed. After that, she started taking traditional Chinese medicine, which she has been on for almost a month. The cyst has grown to 2.51.7CM. There are a few lumps under the armpit. Currently, she is taking Ruliexiao.What kind of help is needed: Hello, how should I treat it now? Should I focus on taking Chinese patent medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, or something else?
Doctor's answer:
Got mastitis at the full moon and took a lot of antibiotics. A month later, a 4.72.5CM milk retention cyst formed. Then I started taking traditional Chinese medicine, which I've been on for almost a month, and the cyst grew to 2.51.7CM. There are a few lumps under the armpit. Now I'm taking Ruliexiao. Do I still need to focus on treatment?Advice: You can use magnesium sulfate for cold compresses, apply them for a long time, and promptly express excess milk to prevent it from accumulating again. Traditional Chinese medicine doesn't seem to be necessary to take anymore right now, as it is medication, and excessive use can affect the baby's milk intake. Wish you good health.
