My Clothes Caught Fire & I've Sustained 2nd And 3rd
My clothes caught fire & I've sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns to breast, chest and neck area. I am 3 months and 2 weeks postpartum and I breastfed exclusively. I went to A&E and the plastic surgeon attended to me and the burns were cleaned and dressed. My right nipple got burnt and was covered up and my left was uncovered to facilitate nursing. 2 days later I stopped nursing and he's on formula only. it's now the 3rd day and I would like to know what will happen to my breast because they are engorged, painful and milk constantly runs out and wets the dressing (Will the swelling deform my breast). Will the breast milk affected the healing process and how can I stop the milk from producing?
