Mastitis and pus

[butterscotch]

I've not been able to latch dd successfully so we are still expressing and cup feeding :-(. I now have mastitis I got antib's from the doctor yesterday and now have pus when I've expressed this morning :-( does anyone have any experience of this? And if so how long will the pus last for? Do I need ro go back to docs as I already have antib's?

i didn't have any pus probelms, but have had severe mastitis which developed into an abcess (2 courses of antib's didn't work).
Antib's should start working after approx 48hrs, if you don't see an improvement after 4days with this pus issue GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR, don't wait until the 7 day course is over before seeking help again.
Mastitis can get nasty if not treated correctly.

Thanks I didnt want to over react! My mw is coming back today at some stage (dd still has slight jaundice so not signed off yet) so I'll see whY she says!!!! Grrrrr it is so gross!
