<< Any ideas on how to score illness severity in mastitis? >>
Dear Dr. Lisa,
One thing I thought of is how much of the breast is involved, and how quickly
the pain and swelling goes away. The mom or doctor could actually measure
the section of the breast that is involved, including the quadrant, etc.,
and record the differences in sizes as the mastitis resolved day by day.
Does this sound helpful?
