A member asked:

Breast inflammation swelling. how do i get the swelling down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends why: There can be many reasons why there is swelling.. Infection? Perhaps antibiotics immune system reaction? Sterioids hormonal problem? Homoral evaluation and assess cause and treatment. Local treatment with cool compresses may temporarily help...If not any infection.
