How long does the lump from mastitis take to go away?
I developed mastitis when my baby was 2 months old. I got on antibiotics, but then I got an abscess. This whole time I never had any symptoms, and both developed very quickly. I was in the ER for an incision and drainage. The incision was on the areola so I was unable to breastfeed or pump. The incision fully healed 3 weeks ago. Milk has once again started to come from that breast. I started pumping, but only a little bit is coming out. I don't want mastitis to develop again. Is there anything I should do? How long does it take for the lump to go away?
