According to the situation you described, it is recommended that you visit the breast surgery department of the hospital for a follow-up. Local debridement treatment and medication application can be performed. Currently, you cannot breastfeed. Wait until complete healing before resuming breastfeeding. The baby's diet should include more rice soup, glucose, and various vitamins. Avoid excessive sugar and irritating foods. Apply nystatin tablets externally for treatment.
