I’ve had mastitis twice and both started with a fever and chills. Go get help or call your doctor. You don’t want to get more sick. I was prescribed antibiotics over the phone and within an hour or two of taking the first dose, the fever had gone away and the pain started to dissipate. I also filled a sock with rice and microwaved it and held it over my breast several times throughout the day.
Mastisis or clogged duct?
My baby is exclusively breastfeeding and he’s almost two weeks old. Today I spiked a fever along with chills. My right breast is tender on the outside near my armpit. Does this red streak look like mastisis or nothing? My kids also had the flu last week so I’m trying to figure out which one it is..
