How to reduce fever caused by breast swelling? What to do if pregnant women have fever caused by breast swelling?

Many new mothers often experience breast engorgement when breastfeeding their babies. There are many reasons for this, such as the baby not feeding in time or the breasts being squeezed by some external force. Each mother's physique is different. Some mothers may even have a fever when their milk is engorged. In this case, the mother should relieve the symptoms of breast engorgement in time to avoid the symptoms becoming severe.

1. Express breast milk as soon as possible

Breast swelling will occur not only after weaning, but most new mothers will also experience breast swelling after giving birth. For these new mothers, the most effective method is to breastfeed as early as possible. Experts remind that if the baby can have close contact with the new mother as soon as possible after birth, and starts sucking breast milk within half an hour after birth, this can effectively prevent the occurrence of breast engorgement and other conditions. Moreover, the mother's milk at this time is the most nutritious. In addition, colostrum also contains immunoglobulin, which is very beneficial to the baby's growth and development.

2. Use a breast pump

Whether the milk engorgement is caused by the baby's inability to suck or the milk engorgement occurs after weaning, the mother can use a breast pump to solve the problem of milk engorgement. This can not only solve the various discomfort symptoms caused by milk engorgement, but also effectively avoid mastitis caused by mammary gland blockage. However, when choosing a breast pump, you must pay attention to the moderate suction force and ensure that the nipples should not feel pain when sucking milk. Experts suggest that mothers should choose an automatic breast pump with adjustable milk suction intensity to better solve the problem of milk engorgement.

3. Breast massage

When breast engorgement occurs, mothers can also effectively relieve the discomfort through massage. First, you should wash your hands with warm water, then hold the entire breast and apply even force to gently massage and squeeze from all sides of the breast towards the nipple. This massage method can not only help unclog the milk ducts, but also relieve symptoms such as skin edema. If you find that a certain part of the breast is particularly swollen and painful during the massage, you can squeeze it with a little force.
