DROP IN OUTPUT - right breast not performing anymore when I express

Hi, starting a new thread on this in desperation - see Red Breast thread a little way down.
Have had a few bad BF days - think I had small bout of mastitis - fever gone, solidity (not really a lump) eased, boob still a bit pink BUT now the article in question is just not performing. It used to be my favoured boob for expressing - I usually get 3 to 4 ounces out easily while DS at childminder, but yesterday could only manage 1 oz. I wouldn't say he's dairy intolerant per se, but formula doesn't seem to suit him (less probs with neat cows milk) and he is colicky still at 7 mths, so don't want to give formula while he's away from me.
Is this likely to be a temporary blip?
I do keep putting him on that one to make sure its drained etc.
Please help, very depressed about this. [panic emoticon]
Additional worry cos have to make long trip on own with him and dog tomorrow AND work in between.

Thanks babypowder!
Just trying to prep everything for DS for childminder in morning, plus everything I need for work trip plus stuff for him and dog who are both coming too. DP away - perfect timing. To add to which I've just had to let DS scream himself back to sleep so I can finish and get to bed before he wants another feed..................eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek...........and YAWN
Oh bollocks he's off again....
