About 3 weeks ago I had mastitis. It came on quickly while Dave was at work and before I knew it I had a burning nipple, 101* fever, chills and a migraine. Try taking care of a 3 month old and it was the worst day we've had since he was born. I took the 7 days of antibiotics and then found a clogged duct about 2 weeks later. It felt like a rope in my breast. The lactation clinic sent me for ultrasound therapy to break it up. I had 5 treatments over 3 days and it didn't go away. I was td to pump after nursing to make sure it drains all the way... Did that
1 week later I woke up really tired and my nipple burned but I thought it was because Luke nursed more than he has been last night. I had plans so i went out. Before I knew it by 11am I was nauseous and dizzy. Threw up then got the chills. My boob started burning and my armpit hurt. Welcome back mastitis :(
I'm on 10 days of antibiotics this time and going in tomorrow to check for an abscess. In the meantime, I'll be in bed. Good thing Dave is off today and tomorrow to take care of Luke.
