I have had flu like symptoms all day and quite bad pain in right breast. Raging temperature as well. Been to walk in centre where gp said not to feed off affected breast and just to express. I've got flucloxicillin and will be taking it for a week. So only feeding off left breast for one week.. is this normal advice? The nhs website says it's fine to feed off both breasts even if infected. Confused!
Gp also said only take ibuprofen if I really have to, try to just take paracetamol.
