Patient's question:
I am breastfeeding, and my baby is now 43 days old. Why have I been experiencing engorgement these last couple of days? There are some white bubble-like things on my nipples, and they seem to have something inside, but they are not very big, just a little. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly possible that it is caused by mastitis, and local nipple issues should be considered. Of course, you must pay attention in the future, apply erythromycin ointment locally, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fruits, digestive vitamins, etc. You can use a breast pump to expel milk, and there are many things to pay attention to in terms of diet. In daily life, it is necessary to eat less greasy food and maintain good hygiene for the breasts.
