I think I have it!! :(

My right boob is so sore, and I have horrible fluey symptoms - pounding headache, sore throat, achy arms and legs, freezing cold one minute and sweating the next. It's awful! Hurts to walk and paracetamol ain't touching this mammoth headache. So tired as well and D won't stop eating lol.

I spoke to bf lady this morning and she said that it might be a blocked duct unless I had a red patch/rash on my boob. I didn't at the time but I do now!

Anyone had mastitis? Does this sound like it? Will be making doc appt in the morning.

Never had it but that sounds like a classic case of mastitis Hun get yourself to docs ASAP and feed feed feed from that side.

Be careful that the antibiotic they give you doesn't interfere with milk supply, they told a girl on here (tweetyfoo) that it wouldn't but her milk went AWOL! If she comes along she may be able to tell you the name of it.

Massive hugs Hun, that must be horrible. Xxxx


 
Get your self to docs. Feed trough it though (some GPs may tell you you have to give up, but that's rubbish) clxxx


On my iPhone - so cant see tickers :(
 
Hey

I had mastitis - but I just expressed through it and it cleared up on its on

I was on antibiotics for tonsilitis - clarithomycin and my milk dried up! It was the most stressful weekend ever (I'm sure theres a thread on here somewhere that shows me having a nervous breakdown) It came back once I stopped the antibiotics
 
Hi tweety :)

Yeah I've been expressing from that breast as I also have a blister on my nipple and it's really sore to feed. Pain and flueyness seem to be easing off now I'm taking antibiotics (cant remember name but deffo not the ones you mentioned) so that's good :)

Sorry - didn't realise I was so late to the party! Should have looked at dates :wall2:
 
I was just prescribed erythtomycin for mastitis, hopefully it wont affect supply

Tapatalking so cant see signatures
 
Mine are fluxo-something or other I think. I've not noticed any problems with supply but I have only been expressing a few times a day as now combi feeding :)

Hope yours work well for you knopk x


Tapatalking!
