Does this sound like mastitis?

[AlenasMom]

My breast is covered in red streaks, it's warmer than the other breast,
sore as hell, and it hurts to the point of tears when I nurse. :*(
What should I do?

It could be mastitis or a plugged duct that has turned into mastitis. Keep
nursing her on that side to unplug the duct, warm compresses and massage the
breast if you can stand it. You probably should call the doctor and get on
antibiotics.

I was going to call him as soon as he opens at 10. It really bloody hurts.
I scared DH by telling him not to touch my breast (he sleeps with his hand
on it). He opened his eyes like saucer wide and asked if I was pregnant
again! lmao! I love him.... :D

Ooh I hope you feel better soon. Also, you can take some Tylenol or Motrin
for the pain. ((((gentle hugs))) :o)

YES. Medical attention, ASAP. You'd be amazed how quickly you can get very
ill, if the infection gets into the bloodstream.

Yeah sounds like it I would be going to the doctor as soon as you can. It
can get pretty nasty very quickly in the meantime just keep feeding off the
sore one as much as possible and massage the sore area towards the nipple,
put warm packs on before feeding and cold after wards. I found a cabbage
leaf in the freezer for 10 minuets and then put it into your bra works
great. I know how you feel you poor thing had the same I was very unlucky
and ended up in hospital with them having to operate. Hope this helps

Good luck will be thinking of you
