So I've got mastitis. I've already had ppl turn to me making comments like, "oh but your son is 16mo". Yeh so, if I produce a lot of milk and he doesn't consume I'm still just as likely to get a blocked duct.

I'm feeling pretty crappy, worst bout of it thus far. Fevers, headaches, nausea, dizziness, pain, hot swollen bb. I am on antibiotics. And I've done the hot shower. The breast pump. Fed off that side first. Warm compress. Manually expressing and massaging. I think my breast looks worse than it was. Red, hot and swollen.

Is this just normal after all the massaging and manual expressing?

I've gotten some pus ooze out whilst expressing as well, thinking its better to get it out. I was given a referral for an ultrasound incase of an abscess. Is this worth going through with? Or is it more just giving it time?

Others experiences...
