Possible thrush - please help urgent!

Since yesterday I have had a shooting pain deep in 1 side of 1 of my breasts that starts from the nipple & travels upwards. I'm suspecting thrush as I have no lumps or temperature & feel fine in myself. I've also just finished a course of antibiotics & had a milk blister on the affected side (cracks & wounds increase risk?). So far lo has no symptoms.

I would see my Gp except I'm currently on holiday in Turkey. Most medicines can be purchased over the counter so what do I need to treat me & lo?

Thanks

Bathe your boob in warm water with half a cup of salt. It will ease you cracks too. I recommend Hypericum/Lanolin for your nipples. It says you have to wash it off before BF but I just gave it a wipe. No harm done.

BTW it will get better. Salt baths are not as brutal as they sound - very soothing. Good luck.
