Symptoms of mastitis can include swelling, pain, redness, and warmth in the breast. In addition, you may experience a fever, flu-like symptoms, and a decrease in milk production.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor right away. Mastitis can be a serious infection, and if left untreated it can lead to abscesses and even sepsis. Early diagnosis and treatment is key to preventing any long-term health problems.
