What will happen if a breast-fed baby with mastitis eats it?

Many women are prone to mastitis after giving birth. Mastitis is also a common breast disease in clinical practice, which can cause great harm to women's bodies. Especially after a woman suffers from mastitis, if the baby eats breast milk from a patient with mastitis, there may be some adverse reactions and symptoms, so it needs to be taken seriously. So what will happen if a baby with mastitis eats breast milk?

1. Mastitis

Mastitis is common in breastfeeding women. If oral medications are taken, it will affect breastfeeding babies. If not treated, it will cause great trouble to the lives of breastfeeding women. Generally, it is recommended to take Chinese medicine external treatment at this time, because most Chinese medicines are extracted from plant medicines, and external use will not have any effect on the patient's internal body, and can also ensure the feeding problem of the baby. For example, use an appropriate amount of fresh cactus, remove the thorns, mash it and apply it to the affected area, once a day, and 3 days is a course of treatment.

2. Treatment

If the fever due to mastitis is below 38 degrees, you can still feed milk to your baby. If it is higher than 38 degrees, breastfeeding should be stopped. The mother should promptly infuse antibiotics (penicillin is the first choice, and cephalosporins can be used if allergic), express the milk cleanly with the help of a breast pump or have an adult do the breast pumping, massage, apply hot compresses, and smooth out the milk ducts. If it doesn't work, see a general surgeon as soon as possible. The child can be fed with milk powder, and can drink milk even if the temperature is below 38 degrees. If a child has diarrhea, the stool needs to be tested. If there is a problem, antibiotics should be used. You can see a pediatrician. Whether it is dehydration depends on the specific clinical manifestations, and pay attention to replenishing water.

3. Note

If you are currently suffering from mastitis, you can wean your baby while controlling the inflammation, which will help absorb the inflammation. While taking intravenous drips, you can also use large amounts of vitamin B6, take oral estrogen drugs, and drink roasted malt instead of tea, which will help with weaning. Pay attention to rest, do not squeeze the affected area, do not wear tight bras, apply magnesium sulfate glycerin and hot compress on the breasts, and refer to some traditional Chinese medicine treatment plans. Eat foods rich in peppercorns and avoid soups, and the inflammation will gradually be brought under control.
