Your milk is totally safe for baby. Get on antibiotics asap! Taking ibuprofen or tylenol mightmake you feel a little better.</p> <p>Be careful to avoid pressure- such as underwire bras, sleeping on your belly, carrying a bag on your shoulder, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888482 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 07:54:00 +0000 Cherrybee 1888482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, mastitis was awful for me. Hot water bottles helped. Sending love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888278 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:39:06 +0000 nana87 1888278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh so sorry! Sleeping helped, I was basically incapacitated until the meds kicked in the next day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888264 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:22:20 +0000 avivoca 1888264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took about a day for me, but I also had a horrible sinus infection at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888263 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:21:51 +0000 gilmoregirl 1888263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh ugh. Mastitis is the worst. Hope you're feeling better soon. </p> <p>I felt better much quicker with antibiotics, but only took them for the first time I had it. Without, the worst of the flu like symptoms cleared up in 24 hours and I was fully better after three ish days. </p> <p>Lie down and rest as much as possible, nurse a lot and just generally take it easy. If you're not improving soon definitely get the antibiotics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888261 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:18:47 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1888261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt better in about a day....I was already feeling perfectly functional by the time I was able to see the doctor the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888257 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 20:16:46 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1888257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Microwave a sock filled with rice and stick it in your bra. Keep heat applied to the area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888236 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:53:08 +0000 jetsa 1888236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt better after about 12 hours on antibiotics. Also mastitis sucks I'm sorry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-3#post-1888233 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:51:04 +0000 LovelyPlum 1888233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I managed to make it almost 6 months, but my time for mastitis has come :( I called my doctor, took a hot shower, am massaging and pumping like crazy, but I still feel like hell. Anything else I should be doing? How long until you felt better? </p>
