A plugged lactiferous duct results in localized edema,

tenderness, and a palpable hard area. Massage of the

area followed by heat will cause the duct and open.

This is a normal deviation but requires intervention

and prevent further complications. Tender hard areas

are not the signs of an infection, so antibiotics are not

indicated. Fatigue, aching muscles, fever, chills,

malaise, and headache are signs of mastitis. She may

have a localized area of redness and inflammation.
