Patient's question:
When the baby was a month old, she developed mastitis and took a large amount of antibiotics. One month later, a 4.72.5 cm milk cyst formed. After that, she started taking traditional Chinese medicine, which she has been on for almost a month. The cyst has now grown to 2.51.7 cm, and there are a few lumps under the armpit. Currently, she is taking Ruchi Xiao.What kind of help is needed: Hello, how should I treat it now? Should I focus on taking Chinese patent medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, or something else?
Doctor's answer:
Got mastitis at the full moon and used a lot of antibiotics. A month later, a 4.72.5 CM milk retention cyst formed. Then I started taking traditional Chinese medicine, and after about a month, the cyst grew to 2.51.7 CM. There are a few lumps under the armpit. Now I am 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. Wishing you good health.
