What anti-inflammatory drugs are used for mastitis

Mastitis is a very common disease among new mothers. Since women in this period are often breastfeeding, they cannot take medication at will, as this will affect the quality of breast milk and, in turn, the health of the baby. Therefore, if new mothers want to use medication to treat mastitis, they must use the medication under the guidance of a doctor. So, how should breastfeeding mothers use medication correctly? Let me introduce you to the relevant knowledge below!

1. Depends on the condition and baby's condition

The choice of medicine for mastitis should be based on the condition of the disease and the baby. If the condition is not serious, the latex can be drained to reduce inflammation, and the child or the child's father can suck out the latex. If the baby is relatively young, it is best not to stop breastfeeding if possible. This is very important for the baby’s health.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to control inflammation

When your baby needs breast milk and emptying the milk cannot relieve the inflammation, you can choose Chinese medicine to control the inflammation. Choose medicines with detoxifying and heat-clearing effects. You can continue breastfeeding while using Chinese medicine, so you don't have to wean your baby and you can use medicine for anti-inflammatory treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine also has ointments that can be applied to the affected area without affecting the lotion and are very effective.

3. Western antibiotics can be used to control inflammation

If the inflammation has reached the suppurative stage and the baby must be weaned for a period of time, or if there is no suppuration and it is okay to wean the baby for a period of time, western medicine antibiotics can be used to control the inflammation. Drugs that stop milk secretion can also be used. The use of western medicine will cause the milk to deteriorate, so it is best to stop breastfeeding when using western medicine.

4. Notes

It is best for patients to go to the hospital or gynecological clinic as soon as possible for a thorough examination and treatment. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs combined with heat-clearing and fire-removing drugs will allow them to recover quickly. Do not delay, otherwise once the condition worsens and an abscess forms in the breast, surgery must be used to treat it.

Due to their physiological structure and physical fitness, women are very susceptible to various diseases, especially breast diseases, which are more common among women. Therefore, in addition to taking preventive measures, they should also develop the habit of regular gynecological examinations and have breast examinations every six months.

You must wear loose and breathable clothes and not wear tight underwear. Especially bras must be comfortable. You should also eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, keep a good mood and exercise regularly.
