Patient's question:
During lactation, I noticed hard lumps and pain in my breasts the night before. I also had symptoms of chills and low-grade fever (38.3°C). The next morning, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with acute mastitis. I received three days of intravenous antibiotics (2g Cefotiazime + 0.9% saline). Now the pain has subsided, but there are still hard lumps and itching on the surface.Doctor's answer:
You have acute mastitis. Generally, you can apply warm towels locally in a timely manner. Usually, it will improve with anti-inflammatory treatment. You can also combine it with traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as Gualou Niangbang Decoction. Breastfeeding is temporarily not recommended, and you can use a breast pump to express the milk. It usually improves.
