Patient's question:
Postpartum mastitis with fever.Doctor's answer:
Uncertain, the lactation consultant industry in the country lacks standardization and regulation, with varying levels of expertise. Some lactation consultants are well-versed in techniques and professional knowledge, while others are merely pretenders, not only failing to treat effectively but potentially delaying the recovery of the postpartum patient. The fundamental solution to treating postpartum mastitis is to promptly expel breast milk. If there is nipple cracking, applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment or wearing a nipple shield can help heal completely. Intravenous fluids or injections alone cannot address the root cause.
