They might be able to call in antibiotics. That is normally my philosophy with doctors as well, but that is why they are there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-948567 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 15:30:56 +0000 Adira 948567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my temp is back up to 101... should I maybe call the on-call nurse at my OB's office? I'm not really if there's anything they can do for me at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-948165 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:54:09 +0000 Adira 948165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bleh, my fever seems on the rise again (99.9) and I have the chills.

I've had a few 24 hour illnesses since LO has been born. And mastitis. But I guess we heal quicker bc we have a baby to take care if, yaknow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947971 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:12:44 +0000 Adira 947971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Seriously!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947968 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 09:12:03 +0000 Ginabean3 947968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: hey our bodies do weird things!

I'm like to this but I'm so glad you don't have mastitis and are feeling better! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947761 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 05:20:16 +0000 Adira 947761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Thanks!! Though now I really wonder what I had since I don't think it was mastitis. And it's weird it only lasted 24 hours or less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947759 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 05:15:30 +0000 Ginabean3 947759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad you are feeling better!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947755 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:59:28 +0000 Adira 947755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just took my temp and it's down to 97.6! I did take some more ibuprofen at 2:00 a.m. (and it's now 6:00 a.m.), but I would think it wouldn't be down so far if I was still sick. I'm thinking I must've had maybe something else and I'm getting better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947744 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:19:47 +0000 Adira 947744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yeah, if it was mastitis, I should feel worse right? Or at least I would think my breasts would, which they don't. Maybe I just had/have something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947740 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:16:27 +0000 Smurfette 947740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Sounds good!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947736 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:11:19 +0000 Adira 947736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: So I totally failed pumping every two hours, but I don't feel any worse, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947720 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 02:43:41 +0000 Pepper 947720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Probably a good sign! My temp kept going up when I had mastitis, and my one breast turned red and hurt to the touch. Hopefully it was just a fluke for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947669 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:52:09 +0000 Adira 947669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm up to pump. My beasts don't feel hard or anything, nor tender. I just took my temp and its down to 99.6. The last time I took ibuprofen was 6 hours ago. Soooooo I'm hoping this is all a good sign and maybe I don't have mastitis after all. What do you ladies think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947222 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:12:25 +0000 Adira 947222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: @Smurfette: Thank you!!!! :)</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Okay, I just told Hubs that I'll be sleeping in the other room so I can get up every 2 hours to pump. Soooo not looking forward to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947191 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:56:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 947191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I don't have any experience with Mastitis so I'm not the best person to answer that, but from everything I've read online it seems nursing/pumping often is your best bet... =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947189 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:56:13 +0000 Smurfette 947189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I hope it isn't!!!

Hope your fever comes down soon and you start feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947134 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:34:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 947134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: you are welcome! If I had to suffer at least I can help someone else lol. And if it IS a blocked duct, massage while nursing or pumping, his chin toward the block, and dangle nurse if possible to have gravity help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947119 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:32:14 +0000 Adira 947119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Okay, thanks so much for the advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947113 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:31:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 947113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: the tugging sensation could be a deep blocked duct..not sure obviously but pumping/nursing constantly is a good bet to at least avoid if it you don't already have it. It sucks. Also apply heat - and I iced the area intermittently as well to reduce swelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947105 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:29:36 +0000 Adira 947105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Blurg... thanks.</p> <p>@aprk: It's hard to tell if my boobs are warm at all because my hands are FREEZING. The only symptom I've noticed in my breasts are the tugging sensation while nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947093 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:26:50 +0000 aprk 947093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: if there's any pain, warmth or redness on your breast I would suspect it. I am just getting over a chest cold with flu-like symptoms (aches, pains, fever) but I honestly never considered mastitis since my boobs seemed normal. Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947087 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:24:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 947087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: def pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947078 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:20:44 +0000 Adira 947078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Me too! Do you think I should get up to pump every 2 hours tonight just in case it is?? I really don't want to do that, but I've only heard bad things about mastitis... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-this-be-mastitis#post-947073 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 18:19:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 947073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: i really hope it isn't mastitis!!! </p>
