Keep nipple clean, apply messy cream and antibiotic cream to prevent infection. Pain killer tab may be taken. If there is no improvement, consult obstetrician.

Respected lybrate-user hi it seems simple nipple cracking. Just apply simple home used ghee or honey 3-4 times a day for 5 days. Keep nipple clean. Take tab combiflam mor & eve after meals for 3 days it would be fine dear thanks regards.

Use nip sore ointment. Clean before feeding. Apply home made ghee. And enjoy motherhood. Start taking multivitamin tabs too.
