That is it mastitis, care and prevention

         
Mastitis is an infection of the sinuses, causing bacterial origin of inflammation, itching and pain, usually in one of the breasts or a part of it, can cause fever and malaise. If you notice you have these symptoms tell your doctor as soon as possible to begin treatment with antibiotics.


Do not forget to remind here that is going to continue breastfeeding her child to prescribe medication that does not affect breastfeeding, and do not stop taking the medicine even if you feel better, do not stop breast feeding her child, and that this will only worsen the mastitis and increase the pain it causes him.


Mastitis can be a sign that your defenses are down , stay in bed, sleep and replenish energy, and it drains the breast to prevent infection is scaled in terms of feeding your child may be quiet, because mastitis will not affect milk and therefore there is no reason to stop breastfeeding.

Should be very painful Breast feeding infected , it is best to let the milk flow over a diaper or cloth absorbent while nursing the other breast, so when the child has to eat, the infected breast does not hurt much.

When in doubt contact your specialist.
