Debbie, in my area, I have a great breast doc who does ultrasound guided
aspirations.
As for how to rule out an abscess, yes, she should expect an ultrasound.
Actually, I would say should be sure she has one. I have had doctors try to
treat with antibiotics without sending mom for the ultrasound, and every single
time the mom ends up needing the ultrasound and drainage anyway. Not sure if
it's because the mother waited too long for the antibiotics to do the trick
or if antibiotics are just not strong enough to take care of it The nice
thing .... if it is an abscess....as soon as it is drained she will have some
relief. I have seen a breast go from rock hard, bright red hot to milk being
able to be expressed, the redness gone, and comfort just hours after an
aspiration of the abscess.
If you search Lactnet's archives you should find some information about
getting rid of an abscess naturally. I have had success with this too. I have
some clients that will not go the antibiotic or doctor route. They prefer
homeopathic medicines their midwives advise them to use and combine it with the
potato poultice or castor oil poultice.
Take care,
