Dr. Lv Aiming
Acute mastitis usually requires intravenous infusion for about 5 to 7 days. Many patients with acute mastitis develop clinical symptoms such as high fever. In such cases, administering antibiotics via intravenous injection can suppress the inflammatory response and help alleviate the patient's symptoms. It is important to maintain cleanliness of the breast area in daily life and prevent blockage of milk ducts, which could obstruct the discharge of secretions. In summary, developing good living and dietary habits, enhancing nutrition, regular exercise, and boosting immune function are essential measures to prevent the occurrence of mastitis.
