Symptom #4: Temperature Changes
Another thing that people may notice when they are struggling with mastitis is that their breasts become very warm or hot to the touch. This can be an indication that the immune system is at work and trying to eliminate any harmful bacteria that may be affecting the milk duct.
This symptom tends to occur alongside swelling and other symptoms of inflammation, since both inflammation and temperature changes are immune responses that make it easier for the body to ward off various forms of bacterial and viral infections.
