In researching information on mastitis for telephone protocols at our public
health agency, I feel like I don't have the latest info, even though I have
consulted the usual resources. Would you experts out there please define
mastitis for me. Are the categories of adenitis and cellulitis still
accurate? How does one tell one type from another? Is is OK for mothers to
treat themselves conservatively first ( rest, heat, massage). How long can
one wait before seeing the doctor?

Is Maureen Minchin out there?
