Can the baby suffering from mastitis continue breastfeeding?
This situation belongs to mastitis caused by milk blockage. If breast-feeding women have too much milk and babies eat less milk, it is easy to leave milk in the lobules of the breast after feeding, resulting in breast distension (medically called "milk stagnation"). If the problem is not solved in time, it will cause mastitis. Oral antibiotic amoxicillin can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. When the body temperature is high, you need to take antipyretics orally. Use a breast pump to suck out excess milk. Hot compress on the breast is beneficial to relieve swelling and discomfort. If you have a persistent fever, you need infusion treatment. Guidance: Generally speaking, if you have mastitis and the symptoms are not serious, you can continue breastfeeding, but if it is serious, you should stop breastfeeding. If there is pus (if you continue to squeeze, you will squeeze pus instead of milk), it is not suitable for continuing breastfeeding (in fact, if it is just discovered, the problem is not big). If there is no suppuration, you can continue breastfeeding. If you are using antibiotics, it is best not to breastfeed. To treat mastitis, we should start with cleaning the breasts. At the same time, the combination of these six methods will receive good curative effect. 1. Pay attention to cleaning: pay attention to rest at an early stage, suspend the patient's breastfeeding, clean the nipple and areola, and remember to discharge lactagogue (use a breast pump or suck). Anyone who needs incision and drainage should stop breastfeeding. This is the first prerequisite for treating mastitis. 2. Use breast-returning medicine: stop breastfeeding on the affected side and suck out the milk with a breast pump. Milk-returning medicine can be used appropriately. 3, antibiotics: systemic application of antibiotics. In order to prevent and treat serious infection and septicemia, antibiotics should be selected according to bacterial culture and drug sensitivity, and antibiotics should be injected intravenously if necessary. 4, hot compress: local hot compress, or wash with 60 grams of fresh dandelion and honeysuckle leaves, add a little vinegar or wine, mash and apply externally. Hold up the breast with a wide cloth belt or bra. 5, sealing: 0.25% procaine 60-80 ml breast sealing can reduce inflammation. Choose broad-spectrum antibiotics (amoxicillin, etc. ) Oral or intravenous injection. Penicillin 654.38+00000 units can be dissolved in 20 ml physiological saline and injected around the inflammatory mass. 6, pus discharge: abscess has been formed, should be cut to discharge pus. The incision should be radial to the nipple and avoid the areola. For retromammary abscess or deep abscess under the breast, an arc incision can be made at the breast fold under the breast.
