In the early stage of the disease, local cold compresses can be applied to the breasts, which can reduce the congestion, edema and pain of inflammation, and can also reduce the secretion of milk and reduce the progression of the disease. When accompanied by fever, if the body temperature is lower than 38.5 °C, it can be cooled by warm water scrub bath, ice compress and other physical cooling; If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C and is accompanied by dizziness and other discomforts, under the guidance of a doctor, you can take oral antipyretics such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and suspend breastfeeding.

2. If you have a fever and your body temperature is above 38.5 °C, you should observe the color and character of the milk, and if you feel that the milk is deteriorating, such as yellow-green, purulent, etc., you should try to avoid breastfeeding and empty the breast in time (the discharged milk cannot be fed to the baby and should be discarded); If the milk is not denatured and the child has no digestive symptoms after eating, he can breastfeed normally, and should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's instructions for symptomatic treatment.
