During history collection we found poor attitude related to breast feeding and breast hygiene. Needle drainage was performed to relieve edema and antibiotics therapy was also initiated. Health education was delivered to this female regarding cleaning of breast, importance of Exclusive breast feeding and manual expression of breast milk.
