Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Consider it to be mastitis. Mastitis is a common disease during lactation. Attention should be paid to local hygiene, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and increasing nutrition. Magnesium sulfate wet dressing can be used, as well as hot towel compresses. For cases with wounds, apply Bacitracin ointment externally. Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Amoxicillin and Azithromycin for treatment.
