Suggest Treatment For Breast Infection And Pus From Near Nipple

I have a breast infection, some pus coming from beside the nipple. I have had breast abscesses twice, close together, 30 months ago. At that time I had extensive checks for underlying cause, scans, mammograms and biopsies, all showed nothing abnormal apart from the infection which cleared up. I had been having tingling nipples and produced a small amount of breast milk, which also stopped. I am 52 yrs old, no real menopausal symptoms, but have had some bad frontal headaches lately that do respond to pain killers. I do not appear to be producing milk at present.

HI
Thanks for posting your query.

For your breast infection you need to take Antibiotic course . Before being started on Antibiotics I advise you to get a test called Pus culture sensitivity. This test will help in deciding which is the right Antibiotic for your breast Infection.

I also advise you to get Ultrasound of your breast , it will give the information on whether only antibiotics is enough or you need a drainage of the pus.

Kindly get the above mentioned tests done and revert back to me .

Hope this information was useful to you.
