Let your body heal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-mastitis#post-922514 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 12:34:31 +0000 mamabolt 922514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt the same way! I even called the midwives again on Friday afternoon (after getting antibiotics on Wed night) because I was worried it wasn't getting better and the weekend was coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-mastitis#post-922442 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 12:09:51 +0000 Pepper 922442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: Thanks! That's what I was hoping to hear... I was afraid after 2 days the clog should have gone away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-mastitis#post-921794 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:46:20 +0000 mamabolt 921794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt better after about 2-3 days of antibiotics, but it took me about 5 days for the clog to clear and another day or two for the redness to subside. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-mastitis#post-921775 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:40:54 +0000 Pepper 921775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did it take for the redness/pain to go away? I'm assuming the redness and pain is due to a clogged duct, but nothing I've done over the past two days has improved it! I've done warm compresses, massaging, and a ton of pumping (I can't nurse because the antibiotic I'm on isn't safe for nursing a newborn - ugh). Anything else I should be doing? My fever is gone, thankfully, now I just need this redness/pain to go away... </p>
