Sagot :

A mother who has been breastfeeding her infant for several weeks develops a fever x 24 hours, malaise, breast erythema, and breast tenderness, so the provider would recommend some oral antibiotics for lactation mastitis.

Lactational mastitis is a condition during which a woman's breast becomes painful, swollen, and red; it's most typical within the initial 3 months of breastfeeding. Initially, engorgement happens as a result of poor milk evacuation, probably mammilla trauma with resultant swelling and compression of 1 or a lot of milk ducts.

Apply warm, wet compresses to the affected breast each few hours or take a heat shower and mother should give feed to baby each 2 hours or a lot of typically to stay milk flowing through the milk ducts.
