Patient's question:
Now it's been a month since giving birth, and my breasts have become skewed due to the child feeding. Additionally, the larger side often experiences swelling and pain. It improves after the child finishes feeding. Is this harmful to health?Also, can the skewed breast return to normal?
Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, it should be mastitis caused by lactation. It is recommended:1. Early rest, stop breastfeeding the patient's breasts, clean the nipple and areola to promote milk discharge.
2. Systemic use of antibiotics. To prevent severe infection and sepsis, antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity. Intravenous drip of antibiotics may be necessary if needed.
3. Local heat application and massage therapy.
