Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent breast infections. There is enough reason to suggest that this infection is never fully eradicated. You may need a longer duration of antibiotics or probably a surgical incision to drain any possible collection that may be making germs eradication difficult. Ask your doctor what he thinks is the possible reason for this recurrence and what his plan is. Also, mention the above possible causes to him/her and hear what the response is.

I hope this helps and addresses your query fully. I wish you well and pray you get to recover fully from this infection. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
