mastitis w/o fever?
breast redness - check
breast swelling - check deep ache - check sore while nursing - check headaches - check general aches and pains upset tummy - check general malaise - check fatigue - check No fever, though, and no discernable lump anywhere. Baby has been fussy on that breast, and spitting/throwing up even more than usual, and having loose poops (not that I've read that as being associated with mastitis). Everything I've read says mastitis is accompanied by a fever. Maybe it's just a plugged duct and I'm also coming down with something? I've been massaging, nursing lots on that side, compressing gently while nursing, taking hot baths, drinking lots of water, and taking advil. And looking everywhere for my magic bag (ds#1 uses it for a blood pressure cuff while playing doctor). FWIW, GIS came up with a pic that looks a lot like what I have: http://www.breastfeeding-basics.com/...fections.shtml The redness starts right at the areola. I just hope it clears up soon. One day like this is plenty. Melania |
