Patient's question:
Five days postpartum, acute mastitis, high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Left breast red and swollen with no milk production; a breast pump can extract pus but not milk. Nipple inversion. After weaning and treatment with penicillin, the affected breast still does not produce milk, while the right breast continues to leak milk.Doctor's answer:
Any drug will be metabolized over time. However, I think you have already stopped breastfeeding, so there won't be milk in the affected breast. Although the healthy breast has been leaking continuously, it may not be in the same condition as before stopping breastfeeding. Postpartum mastitis not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
