Been breastfeeding for 2y Over week ago noticed the classic mastitis signs coming so quickly got 2 weeks of antibiotics and continues to feed on bad side. Following day DS bit the infected side so hard and held on that he broke skin in full circle around nipple so lots bleeding. Next 48h uncomfortable but bearable then stabbing pain almost like spasms started now nippe more swollen. Had mastitis few time but today the pain is littlerally toe curling to sweary scream point where I would quite happily not feed from that side again ever ! Been reading old thread about massaging breast / trying to unblock ducts as all feels a bit bumpy or just leave and hope antibiotics will clear. I haven’t used electric pump for a year but thinking about is it worth while to do a controlled drainage ? Any advise would be great . Currently ibuprofen and paracetamol up to max and thinking about ice pack!
Any ideas gratefully received x
