Breast infection

2017-04-28 21:54:27
I have had a breast infection in my left breast since January 2017. doctors gave me a round of antibiotics it did not go away. I went to see another doctor and they aspirated/drained the infection and gave me more antibiotics and it has been over a month since then and my infection is back or never went away. I need to know what to ask/say to my doctor to get this situated.
