Hi All,

 

In answer to the question of is it possible to develop an abscess/mastitis
with no fever - yes.

 

I have had many moms who presented with Mastitis symptoms and no fever -
red, sore breast, no lumps (plugs) but sore area, firm and warm to the
touch.  Bed rest, ibuprofen and good drainage usually help it resolve
quickly.  In regards to abscess - I had a couple clients in the same month
who both developed abscesses without the normal course of symptoms.was
really quite odd.  One mom developed 2 within 3 wks of each other.  No other
signs other that a lump in the breast that continued to get larger - would
not drain with pumping.  Dr did a needle drainage found pus and did a full
surgical drainage for both.  She never had another one to my knowledge.

 

Warmly,

 

Jaye
