Clogged duct vs mastitis ??

Question

The side of my right boob has been soooo sore for the last day. I’m feeling like I’m starting to get kind of sick like chills/aches and feel like I’m burning up, but I don’t have a temp. My husband says he thinks the side of my boob is starting to get red, I personally don’t see it. I don’t feel any lumps but my boob is soooo sore. Does that circled area look red to anyone ? That’s the exact spot where it’s sore 😩

Answer

Nurse and pump like crazy. Moist heat (shower or warm wet washcloth) on that area while hand expressing and massaging. I kicked a very mild and early case of mastitis myself without needing antibiotics. And drink lots of fluids.

Answer

Yes I would go in! I had mastitis and I felt like I had the flu. My temp was 101.
I got antibiotics and the pain in my breast and the overall flu-like symptoms went away in about 24-48hrs

Answer

That’s exactly how I felt. I didn’t feel lumps but I had a Really sore boob no matter how much baby fed on it. I got chills and body aches. Went to urgent care and was diagnosed with mastitis. Also turned out I had a 104 fever. After 24 hours of antibiotics the pain goes away but be sure to put a warm towel or heating pad over the infected boob to help infection go away.

Answer

Sounds like mastitis. I had it also and had to take antibiotics. Whatever you do, continue to breastfeed as usual.
