Mastitis patients can consume lily bulbs. Lily bulbs have detoxifying properties. If patients with mastitis eat spicy or strongly stimulating foods, it may exacerbate pelvic congestion and inflammation, cause excessive uterine muscle contraction, and thereby worsen the condition. Effective treatment for mastitis includes antibiotics and TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Dandelion, a traditional Chinese herb, can be consumed. During herbal treatment, proper personal lifestyle care is essential.
