Do you have a red patch on your breast? Can you feel any lumps? After feeding from that side, did the engorgement go down or is it still there?

I would feed from that side as much as you can and try and get the breast soft (without neglecting the other side)

If you feel any lumps or hard sore spots, get an electric toothbrush and apply the vibrations to the sore spot while feeding/expressing. A cold face washer on the breast may feel good if it is hot and inflamed. Cabbage leaves are the best because they also have an anti-inflammatory element.

I would monitor your temperature and take it easy. Take some panadol after you have taken your temp, and wait four hours and check the temp again. Remember mastitis is the infection resulting from blockages of milk, so feed, feed feed and you should avoid the infection.

I have had so many near misses like this and only one case of mastitis. Do you have anyone on standby? I found I went downhill very quickly and was knocked out in fevers when I actually got mastitis.
