Some women lack breastfeeding experience or do not pay attention to breast care, which can easily lead to mastitis. This can cause great discomfort to the breasts. In order to alleviate this pain, women will take cephalosporin drugs for treatment to eliminate inflammation as soon as possible. However, can cephalosporins still be used to breastfeed mastitis?
It is best not to breastfeed cephalosporins for mastitis, as they belong to antibiotics. Although they have anti-inflammatory effects, the medication can enter the body and seep into breast milk. After feeding the baby with such milk, it is easy to cause adverse effects. Therefore, it is best not to breastfeed. For mastitis, women need to listen carefully to medical advice and not blindly use drugs, especially antibiotics.
If it is a severe mastitis, after medication treatment, it is necessary to adjust the feeding time. Whether taking Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, it is not advisable to breastfeed too early. In order to prevent the occurrence of mastitis, women should actively unclog their breasts by using a breast pump to extract milk and putting excess milk into a milk storage bag.
During the medication period, it is recommended to purchase milk powder to meet the child's feeding needs, while also eliminating excess milk to avoid milk stasis, which may worsen breast inflammation. If there is pus discharge from the breast, breastfeeding is not advisable to prevent the condition from worsening. It can also exacerbate the inflammatory response, making it more difficult for women to tolerate. Only after the inflammation completely subsides can breastfeeding be resumed according to the doctor's advice.
