Commments on the anti-inflammatory properties of ibuprophen remind me of a call from a physician , recently returned to work, and bfing and pumping who developed "a plugged duct and significant engorgement". Her decision was to use ibprophen because of the anti-inflamatory properties which she felt would help her condition while reducing her discomfort. I had never heard of this...she said that the next day she was much better...cool compresses and different positioning were also used which may have effected the improvement. Are there any thoughts on the specific use of ibuprophen for mastitis, engorgement, obstruction? Thanks. .....................................
