HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the bacteria causing the infection is resistant to the antibiotics used.
This is a common cause of repeated infection.
Performing a procedure directed towards the milk duct that is the likely source of the infection should definitively prevent any further infections.
I hope this helps
