I need help. It’s 3:54a.m and my right boob hurt so bad like it’s sore & BURRNNSSSSSSS!! , I feel a couple knots in it and my nipple is cracking badly . I haven’t breastfed in a week now but just pumped yesterday and everything was good . My boob is not getting big and sore how they were few days after having my baby . The first time I could massage it , put hot water on it to ease pain and pump for it to stop hurting . NOW!!?? None of that works 😖 I’m in so my pain

I’d recommend calling advice nurse if you can! I don’t know much about it but it sounds like maybe mastitis?

thank you .

Definitely call the on call nurse - I had a blocked duct last weekend and I took ibuprofen to help with inflammation and used a heat pack to help with discomfort. Good luck mama 🤞🏻

what’s crazy is I just got a migraine out of nowhere , my body half hot, half cold and I just checked my temperature and it’s at 100.6 . Omg 😭

You could be developing mastitis! If you have a fever of 101 or more please go to the er! I had to and I got mastitis on my left boob and it was sooo painful! I exclusively breastfeed and it’s my first time so it was really hard for me to know what was going on, you need to keep pumping try combing the boob with your finger but not hard, and I recommend a boob massager/vibrator. I also now take sunflower lecithin, lactation supplements, a new multivitamin, pre and probiotics!
Don’t stop pumping!

girl! I had flu like symptoms from one day to the other I was shivering and I had a fever of 102.5 when I went the ER and I’m not the person who ever gets sick. I was prescribed antibiotics. It’s so painful, my head felt like it was going to explode and I couldn’t move. If you breastfeed don’t stop either

If you develop a fever it’s likely mastitis. Just went through with a fever of 102.7. You will need to go to your DR or ER and be prescribed antibiotics that you take for at least 10 days. You also need to resolve the clogs (using ice and ibuprofen seemed to work best for me to reduce the inflammation). I would also start Tylenol right away, up to 650 mg is what I did every 6 hours to get the fever under control.

Mastitis?

I called my doctor , she just told me massage my bob, pump and try putting hot compress on it and take ibuprofen & Tylenol. I want to be done with breastfeeding but it’s so hard cause I still want him to breastfeed
