Postpartum period, 14 days after cesarean section, acute mastitis

Patient's question:

Suddenly, there is pain on the outer side of the breast, with a lump the size of a quail egg, and a fever of 38.3 degrees. After massaging the breast and emptying the milk, the fever subsided. Today, after nursing, the pain and lump continued, but there was no fever.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, considering the issue of milk extraction in this area, if it is blocked, it may not be extractable at all; if possible, try using a breast pump, and at the same time, apply heat twice a day for half an hour each time, and take anti-inflammatory medication orally
