Mastitis Fever

Currently having a fever due to mastitis. I'm on 7 days post natal massage and today is the 1st day. Although the masseuse did help to massage my breasts but I developed a sudden fever at night. Just popped paracetemol cos whenever I have fever, it is normally high temperature. I'm both latching & pumping. Can't keep latching my newborn as he likes to 'chew' my nipple when he's full and it's painful. How frequent to get my milk out? I have no one to help at home cos my husband just started work after paternity leave and I need to get well. #advicepls #pleasehelp

Try taking sunflower lecithin, it helps in clearing blocked ducts. You might want to go to a gp to get augmentin too

Noted on that. I told my masseuse about my fever & she massaged the blocked duct/lump. Feels so much better after that but will take note of this in case it happens again. Thank you so much for your advice. This really helps ☺️
