Question about sore breast and the flu

[Guest guest]

Hey Ysha,

Right know I am sick with the flu. I am still Breastfeeding Fianna who is 17

months. My left breast is very sore. Is this anything to worry about. Should I

stop feeding of that side.

You should probably be evaluated for mastitis, as it's not flu season

anymore and these sound like classic symptoms. You do not have to stop

nursing, in fact it's better to continue, but you should be evaluated.

Mastitis needs to be treated, whether naturally or with antibiotics.

Thank you for your responses. I had mastitis when my daughter was 3 weeks. She

is now 17 months. This seems more like the stomach flu. I was throughing up for

a couple days now I am just week and have a fever. Is it possible for the flu to

lead to mastitis? And does mastitis happen this far into breast feeding...

thank you,

Annie

Mastitis has flu-like symptoms, especially headache and joint pains and fever.

You may have a pounding headache. Not so much vomiting though.But flu doesn't

turn into mastitis. Check the sore breast for a red splotch and feel for a lump.

Put hot packs on it and massage; if you can't resolve it within 24 hrs. you have

to get a prescription for antibiotics. Start doing garlic and vit. c and

whatever Ysha suggests for infection, but don't delay seeing the dr if it

doesn't resolve. Keep nursing on that side, especially.

Slightly radical thinking here, but investigate if stress is the cause

of both flue and sore breast, the author suspects so because only left

breast is involved. When he used to get patients with low grade fever,

headache, migraine, palpitations, he too used to get confused! Please
