I am 99.9% certain that I have thrush in my breasts - immense pain deep in breast - nothing visible on the outside, but itchy, pain only AFTER each feed, started on one side 2 days ago, now on both sides after 4 weeks of pain free feeding. Had my latch checked out by BF consultant and confirmed as good and thrush was also suggested by her - I had thought it might be after doing some research.
In agony today and have GP appointment tomorrow, and wanted to get advice on best treatment to ask for as I just know GP will be useless and not clued up, though is very open if I go armed with info. Have found lots of stuff on BFN site and printed that off - looking for opinions on best topical treatment to ask for really - DS2 shows no signs of thrush in his mouth but is acting uncomfortable and pulling off the breast crying and is really unsettled and windy - unsual for him so far. I know that I will need oral treatment for 10 days but really clueless on topical stuff - whats good and what's not - anyone been there can give any advice please?
Thanks
