Q: Periodic fever due to breast-feeding
asked by: sabina1988 on September 16th, 2009

I am 22 yrs. old woman. I've 5yrs & 2yrs old daughters. After breast-feeding my baby i'm encountering fever & restlessness for a day or two. I encounter the fever after a period of about 10 days. This has been happening from past 1.5 yrs.

I usually take pain-killers but sometimes I get well without pain-killers too.

I want to know what is causing this?
Is this normal or should I consult a doctor
?

This should be checked by your physician for a case of chronic mastitis.
Mastitis is a breast inflammation, usually, caused by bacteria and mainly happens in breastfeeding women.
In most of the cases is a short-lived condition, but, rarely it can progress to a chronic one.

See your physician (some more serious bacteria can reach this part of the body and the antibiotic treatment will be needed to resolve this condition).
