Postpartum mastitis (breast infection)
Sorry if I misspelled this. I have this currently, but am not sure what it is caused from. I forgot to ask. I have red streaks all around the breast and huge hot lumps. It is so painful. Last night I iced them and nursed my baby as frequently as I could. Today I feel nauseated and am running 102.6 fever and have the chills.
I feel terrible. The pain goes to my neck and armpit. Help...what else can I do and how long will it last.
My doctor said he would call in an antibiotic this morning.
The antibiotic will likely be one that covers staph and strep; usually a penecillin-like drug.
Why did I get this?
Will it cause long term effects?
There is a good little book on breast feeding in our Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Store.
