Mastitis is a breast infection, which results in breast pain, swelling, warmth, and redness. In
most cases, lactation mastitis occurs within the first six to 12 weeks after giving birth
(postpartum), but it can happen later during the breastfeeding. The major symptoms of
mastitis include breast tenderness or warmth to the touch, malaise, breast swelling, pain or
a burning sensation continuously or while breastfeeding, skin redness, often in a wedgeshaped
pattern, high fever and others.
