Can I breastfeed with breast heat and a fever of 38 degrees?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I breastfeed if my breasts are hot and have a fever of 38 degrees?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the condition you described is mastitis, which is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Local application of magnesium sulfate can be used on the breast, while milk should be expressed. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage should be performed to avoid complications. First, treatment and adjustment are needed. The main thing to focus on when abdominal fluid appears is to pay attention to diet. For example, fish soup, winter melon pork rib soup, watermelon, grapefruit, cherries, soy milk, and boiled water. The key is to supplement high-protein foods and diuretic foods. Additionally, it is important to walk more.
