A 7-year-old girl with hard lumps in her breasts that hurt a little when touched, considering precocious puberty and mastitis may be, and the treatment for different diseases is not the same.
1. Precocious puberty: precocious puberty in girls is the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 years, so the appearance of breast lumps and pain in girls at the age of 7 years may be a manifestation of precocious puberty.
The treatment of precocious puberty includes etiologic treatment and drug treatment.
(1) Etiologic treatment. For precocious puberty caused by tumor, surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, thyroid preparation can be given to precocious puberty caused by hypothyroidism, and adrenocorticotropic hormone can be used for congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia.
(2) Drug therapy. Drugs that can be used to treat precocious puberty include treprostinil, etc. Common side effects include local reactions at the injection site such as erythema, hardening, blisters, etc.
2. Mastitis: Mastitis in children is rare and can be treated with anti-infective drugs. The first time I saw this, I had to go to the hospital to get the medication.
All of the above drugs should be used under the guidance of a physician, do not use drugs without authorization.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
