Hi Ginna, I don't have any personal experience with this, but it has come up before on Lactnet. When you look for 'ultrasound' in the Lactnet archives, you'll find a posting that gives the following dose: "2watts/sq cm for 5 minutes once per day for up to 2 days". It also gives the URL for Jack Newmans handout on 'Blocked ducts and Mastitis', which can be found at : http://users.erols.com/cindyrn/22.htm Hope this helps to get you on the right track.
