Engorged ?..

Question

Can becoming engorged cause you to run a fever ? A mild one .. I'm not hot at the head , but my body feels like I'm starting one on. I become really engorged at night. 
I'm kinda freaking out ! Cause I'm hoping I'm not getting sick , or have caught an infection from having to get 2 blood patches done after leaking fluid in my spine from epidural.. 
I'm in need of prayers & just good vibes 😥 I've been trying to recover for a week and 3 days now after birth.. it's kinda taking the best outta me 😭

Answer

Sounds like mastitis. You should see a doctor and pump

Answer

Yes it can. Call your doctor when you can though because it could be more than just engorgement.

Answer

Thank y'all ! Idk if it had to do with it . But I pumped because my LO wouldn't wake to eat , and I felt a little better after . I will call DR first thing in the AM if still running fever .

Answer

It's probably mastitis. Which sucks- I had it about a month ago. Low fever, achy and the chills like the flu, hard hot lump in my breast that was sooo painful! Go see tour obgyn for a breast exam and if it's mastitis they'll give you antibiotics. Pump extra to help drain it.

Answer

If you're feeling sick and really drained with a fever and you're engorged it could be mastitis and you'd want to go to the dr or urgent care to get an antibiotic

Answer

Do you pump or feed at night? If not try pumping at least once during the night. But fever with engorgement is not normal and could be possible mastitis. I would see your dr just to make sure
