What should be done together with antibiotics to treat a recurring mastitis in breastfeeding mother?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Mastitis is treated with antibiotics. Regularly feeding or using a pump is also helpful to drain the breasts. A warm wash cloth can often make the area more comfortable.
