I have mastitus and its now turned into an abscess as antibiotics are not working. doc is trying me on some different antibiotics today for 3 days then if they have not worked/'helped any its off to hosp in his words for "surgery under general anesthetic".
does anyone know if having the abscess will affect feeding?? will general or local anestheict affect feeding? really dont want tto take ds int o hosp either....
does it hurt having it drained? Can i feed DS from the infected boob? will the absess harm ds in any way? I have no discharge coming from nipple or anything, its just milk. I am so gutted this has happened. Just as my latch is sorted and B'feeding no longer hurts this happens
