Because some mothers want to breastfeed after giving birth, it is actually because breast milk is more nutritious and has more benefits for the growth and development of the baby. However, some mothers may not be able to breastfeed after giving birth due to mastitis. So what should they do if their baby has mastitis just after giving birth?
Firstly, it is necessary to promote the emptying of milk. If you have mastitis, there is a high possibility of breast pain and swelling or redness. At this time, it is important to breastfeed your child and drain all the milk from the breasts. If breastfeeding cannot completely eliminate breast milk, the method of suction can be used to expel breast milk.
Secondly, adopt local physical therapy and hot compress methods. If there is pain in mastitis, you can apply a hot towel or use some local therapy methods, about half an hour each time, three or four times a day, which is very effective for early inflammation.
Thirdly, use vitamins. If neither of the two methods mentioned earlier has a significant therapeutic effect, it is necessary to promptly use vitamins, either through intramuscular injection or intravenous drip.
Fourth, adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. In fact, there are many external prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine that can have good effects on the treatment of mastitis, and these can also be tried.
