Hi ladies
I'm having a bad day... :-( Please advise... It appears I have mastitis which came on overnight. Having seen a GP earlier today for LO's eight week check/jabs, when it seemed to be improving, I mentioned it - saying that I was following the advice given by a BF counsellor ie feed, feed & feed some more. It did seem to be responding... But when I got home I felt pretty crap - shivery & achey, so I checked my temp before taking paracetamol, and it was 38.6. I rang the surgery hoping for some advice, but the receptionist seemed to think that as I'd already spoken to a doc they would be happy to go straight to antibiotics... DH has gone to pick them up for me, but I'm not keen on taking them because of LO.
I've had a rocky road post c section - including wound problems requiring two courses of ABs, the last metronidazole resulted in LO developing oral thrush, which then needed treatment... I feel loads better after the paracetamol & I'm already on ibuprofen for carpal tunnel pain. Please advise what you would do.
We are nine weeks tomorrow and although I love my DD to bits seem to lurch from one problem to the next :-( When will our luck ever change!?!
