Thrush????

[cosmicgirl]

I mentioned to my bf support lady that sometimes at night I have some pain in the boob I have fed from. It lasts a couple of minutes, goes if I give it a rub. It feels a bit like the let down but a bit more uncomfortable.
I have no other symptoms.
She asked me to look in baby's mouth - there was nothing to be seen. He's been vomiting a little bit after some feeds and occasionally I've noticed some white at the back of his tongue but then at other times there is nothing there????
Neither of us have any other symptoms and he feeds well.
I mentioned this to my GP at the 6 week check. He said baby's tongue didn't look like thrush but gave me something to treat him anyway. He didn't give anything for me though???
Do you think I may have thrush??
Shouldn't I be treated?
Should I just see how we go??

Could be a blocked duct- v painful- and the rubbing is enough to unblock it. When it's blocked it can make your milk taste salty, just make sure your breast is completely empty to prevent it xx

That's hun.
I haven't had much pain since last week. I don't think it would go if it was thrush x

If he's treating baby for thrush, then you should be to. But alot of folk don't realise this, I had to argue with a mw to get me treated as well. Thankfully the GP prescribing was a bit better. X


On my iPhone - so cant see tickers

He hasn't given me anything x

cosyou can buy canasten just off the shelf or daktarin, even if its for feet or any thrush you canuse the creamonyour nips, just rub it in good and it dosent have to be removed before feeding unless you have lots stillon there. its exactly what the doc perscribed for me when i had thrush. i double checked and asked if it was the same stuff
