Mastitis (Mast-EYE-TISS) is a pain or lump in the breast that may be accompanied by fever and / or flu symptoms such as decay or very painful. Some women with a breast infection also have nausea and vomiting. There may also be yellowish discharge from the nipple that looks like colostrum. Or, the breasts may feel warm or hot to the touch and pink or red. A sinus infection can occur when family members have a cold or flu. It usually occurs only in one breast. That is not always easy to tell the difference between a chest infection and a blocked duct, because both have similar symptoms and can improve 24 to 48 hours. Most chest infections that do not improve themselves within that period should be treated with drugs administered by a physician.

What you can do
Breastfeed often on the affected side, as often as every two hours. This prevents the milk move freely, keeping your chest too full.
Massage the area, starting behind the sore spot. Use your fingers to a circular motion and massage toward the nipple.
Applying heat to the area of the wound with a hot compress.
Get more sleep or relax with your feet to help speed healing. Often, an infection of the breast is the first sign that the mother is actually too much and too tired.
Use a properly fitted support bra, which is not too tight as it can strengthen the milk ducts.
