I guess I didn't do enough hot compress and feeding/pumping yesterday b/c I woke up with chills (sooo cold) and fever between 100.2 - 102.2 and an achy body. I called my OB's office and they told me to do what I already know and said would call me back but I haven't heard anything yet. So now I'm either going to nurse or pump every two hours or whenever I feel my left breast feeling sore again. I think it's spread b/c it's on the entire left side now. Do they normally prescribe antibiotics to help with the infection? Just wondering. If I don't hear back from my OB (a little disappointed the nurses haven't called me back yet) I'm seeing my Family Prac. doctor tomorrow so I'll just talk to her. In the mean time I'm taking ibuprofen. To add to things, I had dental surgery to do a crown lengthening yesterday but I know it has nothing to do with it b/c my left breast is so tender and red.
I stay home with my boys and my oldest doesn't have preschool today so I pretty much just let him play with the iPad ALL morning... something I don't normally let him do for that long. I just had to rest while my LO is napping. I feel a little better but still feel like crap. Sucks... I called my husband to ask him to come home early but the earliest is like 4pm. Thank goodness he's home tomorrow.
Oh, and it's okay to nurse through this, right?
