Dear Friends:
    I am out of practice posting. The post should have included the words:
"....if the mastitis does not improve after 7-10 days of antibiotic therapy."
    I apologize for the omission.
    Warmly,
>      The following article "Differentiating Inflammatory Breast Cancer from
>  Acute Mastitis" (Am Fam Phys Sept 1, 1995 pp 929-934 Dahlbeck, Donnelly,
>  Theriault) states that a woman should go for a follow-up mammogram or
>  ultrasound if the mastitis does not improve in 7-10 days.
