Pictures of breast suppuration during lactation

If mastitis during breastfeeding is detected early, it can be treated very well. Just take some medicine or get an IV drip, and it will be cured in no time. It's just that some new mothers do not understand the knowledge in this area, so they delay the treatment of mastitis during breastfeeding, and some serious cases have already become festered. So, what should you do if mastitis becomes suppurative during breastfeeding? Today I will give you a detailed introduction.

What to do if mastitis becomes suppurative during breastfeeding

1. When mastitis suppuration occurs, the first symptom that appears is fever, so you must first reduce the fever and then deal with the inflammation. When taking antipyretics, you must choose antipyretics that are not irritating to the baby. Because you are breastfeeding, you must be cautious when taking medicine.

2. During the treatment period of suppurative mastitis, it is best not to breastfeed the baby so that the milk can be discharged. Because the breasts are too painful, you can apply a hot towel to the breasts to promote the automatic discharge of milk. If the effect is still not good, you can use a manual breast pump to extract the milk containing purulent secretions, because this kind of milk containing purulent secretions cannot be given to the baby.

3. You can consult a doctor to use Chinese herbal medicine for external application on the breast, which is also very effective in treating suppurative symptoms of mastitis. Once the suppurative symptoms are under control and the breast inflammation is relieved, the fever symptoms will also subside.

Mastitis suppurative symptoms during breastfeeding must be treated with caution. While taking oral medications, don't forget that local medical care is also very important. The use of Chinese herbal medicines for external use and hot compresses have a very good effect on the recovery of mastitis suppurative symptoms. Mastitis suppurative symptoms generally take effect quickly and go away quickly, so as long as you treat it carefully, you can recover quickly.

How to solve mastitis suppuration during breastfeeding

Breast suppuration during lactation is a common symptom of mastitis and it cannot be cured without special treatment. Mastitis can be divided into three stages according to the condition. For the early stage of breast inflammation, there will be local pain and swelling, and there will be lumps when touched. As the disease progresses, suppuration will occur within 4 to 5 days, and eventually cysts will form. If suppuration occurs, it is not recommended to continue breastfeeding, because the milk contains bacteria, which is harmful to the health of the baby.

If mastitis occurs during breastfeeding and symptoms of abscess appear, the patient is advised to take some measures to drain the pus, and the pus can be drained through puncture. If the breasts are severely swollen, you can massage them to slowly pull the lumps apart. Try not to wear pajamas, and choose loose and non-irritating underwear to allow your breasts to breathe. After the pus is fully cleaned and disinfected, and then hot compress with a cotton towel can alleviate the symptoms.

Although mastitis during breastfeeding is not a serious disease, it needs to be treated seriously. Once the disease occurs, it is very difficult to treat. Patients can also treat mastitis with traditional Chinese medicine, such as using Chuanxiong, Chinese medicine pangolin, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion flower, raw licorice, honeysuckle tea, charred hawthorn, and charred malt. These Chinese herbs are all common Chinese herbs that can relieve pain.

Based on the above, it can be seen that breast suppuration during lactation cannot be cured and treatment methods are needed. If a patient develops mastitis, he or she must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition and increasing the difficulty of treatment. Early treatment is more effective. I hope my detailed introduction can help more patients.
