1. Do you have a hard, tender lump in your breast?
A localized firm spot is the classic sign of a clogged duct.
2. Do you have a fever (101°F+) or flu-like symptoms (chills, body aches)?
This is the key difference between a clogged duct and mastitis.
3. Is the skin over the lump red?
Redness that spreads is a warning sign.
4. How long has the lump been there?
Time matters — over 48 hours needs attention.
5. Have you been applying heat or deep massage to the area?
The 2022 ABM guidelines now advise against this.
