Symptoms of MASTITIS
The symptoms associated with mastitis usually begin 3 to 4 weeks after delivery. They are suggestive of an infectious process. They include fever and red, tender and painful areas of the breast. These areas may appear firm, or indurated, hot and swollen. There may be red streaking of the breasts. Tender lumps may develop in the armpit, representing inflamed or infected lymph nodes.
