breast abscess

Hi Divya, The first stage of treatment is taking antibiotics. Depending on the size of the abscess and your level of discomfort, your doctor may also want to open up the abscess and drain the pus. so keep in touch with your doctor and follow his instructions.

home remedy possible?

Yes , First stage is antibiotics. If it doesn't get cured then you may have to give hot water compression for few days till it fully liquifies and pus open up on its own. It's painful and u have to use pain killers till then. if not the left out option is surgical drainage. I had surgical drainage in my right and natural pus opening on left one due to abscess and mastities. The pain is like hell. Best thing is to avoid engorgement of breasts.

few says putting cabbage leaves with alternate cold and hot compression will help.

thank you kavya and puloma. I had surgery on both sides. feeling that it is happening again. just want to omit hospital

I feed him everyday and don't know what is really going wrong

I was doing the same. But ended up with abscess You have to ensure that you are feeding every 2-3 hrs and your breasts should not be heavy after each feed. If it is still heavy then you have to pump or express remaining milk manually.

fine Kavya. I have ordered a breast pump so that I am out of it thank you so much ☺️

My daughter stopped and refuses to latch on my breast after mastities. I am using electric pump and giving that milk in bottle. Hope your Little one gets enough milk from you.. !! Happy Motherhood.. !!

I went to Ayurveda center today and they told it will be good to go through I &D

ordered a breast pump too to be in safer side. :)
