A member asked:
Can a sore throat lead to mastitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, separate problem: Sore throat is not related to or a cause of mastitis. Mastitis is an infection of the breast. Smoking is a strong risk factor for developing mastitis. It can be a difficult problem to treat and can take many months. I recommend you find a breast specialist who will work with you.
