A member asked:
How likely is it that i could have developed mastitis from partner sucking breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It is possible to get mastitis from your scenario. Aspirin, advil (ibuprofen) , warm compresses and supportive bra will help. See your physician if it continues to get worse - more red, hard or with pus. Best wishes.
