I just read this and went through something similar and my friend gave me her Silverette cups that supposely prevent mastitis naturally through silver. I wore thwm as she told me to and the pain is gone and i didn't have to take antibiotics! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1802176 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:47:42 +0000 Beebug 1802176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. I *think* meds are finally kicking in, thaaank goodness.</p> <p>Today was seriously so awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1800277 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 23:42:12 +0000 lady grey 1800277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a hard lump in your breast? Is it red around the area that was sore? You should probably take the antibiotics unless you think your symptoms could be from something else. </p> <p>Could it have been a plugged duct that went away but you are actually getting a cold/flu? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1800202 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:18:32 +0000 littleowl88 1800202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor also prescribed me antibiotics over the phone based on my description of my symptoms, so I second the suggestion to see if someone can talk to you on the phone if you want some reassurance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1800135 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:29:51 +0000 gilmoregirl 1800135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had mastitis a few times and each time has been slightly different. However, boob pain and flu-like symptoms are a constant so mastitis is a good bet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1799959 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:13:40 +0000 edelweiss 1799959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i thought i had mastitis, i just talked to my doctor on the phone and he prescribed me antibiotics based on my symptoms. maybe that wasn't cool of him, but i turned out fine. perhaps a nurse or your doctor would be willing to talk to you instead of making you go in (as i imagine you feel like shit)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1799932 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:53:40 +0000 Mae 1799932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea but man that sucks. Sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-2#post-1799913 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:39:41 +0000 Beebug 1799913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mastitis with my first, but this feels a little different!</p> <p>I noticed yesterday a weird pain in my right boob, today I have the spins, currently achey, and most of the day have been just feeling off with a strong headache (I never get headaches!). The spins have been awful.</p> <p>The boob pain is gone, but the other "flu like" symptoms seem to want to kick my butt today.</p> <p>I was smart (I think!) and got my doc to write a script for the "fix" for it (forget the name) when DS was born (2.5m old) so I just need to go to the pharmacy. I didn't think about not being able to "verify" this was it with a doc visit, and since the breast pain is different, surely I can't hurt myself taking it and not 100% confirmed I have it? </p>
