mastitis Is it possible to get it after 5 months of no bf?? I'm in so much pain. My nipple has a huge lump under it and…

@Veronica I did. They gave me antibiotics and pain killers. They told me if it gets worse to come back in and to keep my ob appt. I'm picking up my prescription now. I got really sick this morning. Bad headache and throwing up. IDK if it's related or not I don't feel to bad now.

Ready this made my boobs hot ? I really hope you go to the doctor ...

It's so bad! I have to be topless bc nothing can touch it. I was so scared they would cut it open to drain it. ? thank you for the well wishes I hope to be able to wear shirts soon. Lol

Interesting fact, I just learned from the pediatrician today that even toddlers can get mastitis. I had no idea and thought it was only while nursing. Anyways hope you start feeling better soon.

My areola on my right breast is very sore& im only 18w 7d....but i didnt think of mastitis

Update: Dr said it is possibly mastitis. They give me antibiotics and painkillers. They said if it gets worse to come back in and to keep my appt with my obgyn.

I'd go to urgent care. It could be a cyst and those are the WORST! the sooner they treat it the better if not it could get infected. I hope it's nothing but better safe than sorry! My mom was in the hospital for 2 WEEKS on IV antibiotics because she left the cyst for a week hoping it on would go down and it got into her blood and gave her septis ?

It is ER worthy. It can easily go septic and that's a really bad thing.

You can see a primary doc for this. Go to the urgent care if you don't want to be seen in the ER.

It still the same pain but its pretty swollen. It literally looks like I have two nipples.

Is the pain and tenderness the same or worse? If so, yes it is absolutely er worthy, you could develop an abscess and potentially sepsis. Go get seen.

I had to reschedule. He got called away for a delivery and my dh had to work... Is this er worthy? I haven't gone bc I don't think it is.

Update ?

Thank you. I'm going to the drs today. I didn't sleep well at all. I'm confined to laying on the left side or my back. Which is so uncomfortable to me.

It's possible at any time. Mastitis is mostly an infection in the breast. More likely when breastfeeding. But not exclusive to then. Go see doc asap

I would call your doc asap. Don't want it turning into an abscess.

I'm 6 years post partum and have a blocked milk duct ?

Get to your Dr, no delay with any type of breast lumps!

It sounds like it could be. I would get into the doctor. It's definitely some type of infection and you'll want antibiotics to treat it.

Bump

I haven't pumped or breastfed in 5 months. I tried a wet washcloth but it hurt so much. I cried while it was on it. It just started hurting and getting swollen last night.

Could be mastitis, have u tried a hot shower and then pumping? Unfortunately you are gonna have to unclog that duct. Gonna hurt like a b**** but u will feel so much better after

Areola not agenda ?
