The treatment for mastitis depends on the underlying cause. In breastfeeding or recently pregnant women, the treatment may be antibiotics as well as frequent nursing. In other women, inflammation of the breast should be evaluated promptly by a health care provider to rule out more concerning causes, such as cancer. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
