Asking For Wife, Female 20, Pwd Islamabad
My baby was 1 to 2 months old when I developed mastitis. I thought it would get better with time, but instead, it became fully red and hardened. I informed my gynecologist, and she prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. When it didn't improve, she recommended Augmentin injections in the vein for 7 days, morning and evening. Pus formed after the injections, and got drained out on its own, leading to healing. After some time, the wound completely healed. However, I noticed that my affected breast had become significantly smaller than the other one. When I discussed this with my doctor, she suggested that continuing to breastfeed the baby would help in recovery and size improvement. Despite exclusively breastfeeding for the first 6 months, my baby is now 9 months old, and my affected breast has not increased in size; in fact, it is much smaller than the other one.
sometime healing lead to fibrosis so it become smaller you should feed your baby from that side and also go to some gynaecologist for 2nd opinion
when u stop feeding it will ok
