What is the white paste coming out of the nipple?

Judging from the symptoms and situation, it is possible that you have mastitis or even a breast abscess. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up and, if possible, a pathological examination.

Breast abscess

Treatment follows the principles

(I) General treatment: Stop breastfeeding the affected breast and use a breast pump to remove all the milk; hot compresses or physical therapy can help dissipate early inflammation.

(ii) For local application, use 25% MgSO4 wet compress or the Chinese medicine dandelion for external application.

(III) Systemic antibiotics: effective drugs against Gram-positive cocci, such as penicillin, cephalosporin, etc.

(IV) Timely incision and drainage after abscess formation

As the infection multiplies, a red, tender lump will form in the breast, and the axillary glands and supraclavicular lymph nodes on the affected breast will also become tender and feverish. Women who breastfeed their babies are more likely to develop this disease.

Do's and Don'ts

1. Mothers who breastfeed their children should keep their nipples clean and dry between breastfeeding sessions, prevent nipples from being irritated by clothing, and prevent children from "biting" nipples. This will reduce the incidence of breast abscesses.
