Breast abscess
I am a breast feeding mom of 6.5 months old baby. I had an abscess on my left side which I observed yesterday and this morning I have consulted a doc and was asked to get my USG of both breasts done which is tomorrow . I just used warm compression on the abscess area as advised .And was asked to continue breastfeeding. But the abscess popped out around 9pm .all the infected puss n blood has come out leaving a hole. Washed it with warm water and cleaned the area as well. Can I still pump out milk and feed my daughter??
