Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast, caused by blocked milk ducts/ there

Treatment for mastitis should begin immediately. Your doctor may not immediately be able
to distinguish between simple inflammation and a bacterial infection, but will usually treat
you as if it is infected.
Options include:
• Continued breastfeeding and/or expressing to drain the breast
• Antibiotics (for example, flucloxacillin or cephalexin)

to relieve pain, if necessary
• Rest and adequate fluid intake
• Heat to breasts (such as hot showers) before a feed and cold after
• Varying the feeding position to increase breast drainage

diminished venous return, and reduced cardiac output
