What Causes Pain In The Right Nipple While Breastfeeding?
I am a feeding mother ... am feeding my child since 16 month... but now since 2 weeks am suffering from pain in my right nipple ... I have observed a small pink pimple without any secretion..... not even hard....On my nipple I have also met doctor they advised me Nipcare ointment which is of no use to me.... As soon as I feed my child with this side ... after feeding pain starts.... until then there no pain...
Your symptoms seem to be related to mastitis. I would recommend taking acetaminophen for the pain. I also recommend taking prescribed antibiotics by your gynaecologist.
Heat compresses can also be helpful in relieving the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
