Mastitis?

I have a 22 month old who is still breastfed. My right boob is tender, mainly my nipple and the area around it is sore. It feels bruised. It's not hard or red. I don't feel unwell. I had mastitis when he was a newborn but nothing since. Will it clear on its own? I had antibiotics last time but I was very unwell with it.

Bump. Starting to feel unwell now and docs can't see me until tomorrow.

@redlipped I would call 111 after 5pm when the service kicks in and get advice. Mastitis is not something to take a “wait and see” approach.

Apparently my docs think it's OK to not see me until tomorrow even though I've felt progressively worse throughout the day!

I feel exhausted like I've been hit by a train.

@redlipped how are you feeling today?
