Never breast fed and my kids are both school age now. I am allergic to Penicillins, Flagyl, Clindamycin, and Macrobid.
On christmas eve I woke up with both of my breasts swollen by two cup sizes and with a sore redness on the undersides of both. I went to a walk in clinic because my GP was closed for the holiday and they diagnosed bilateral mastitis and prescribed me bactrim.
10 days later I was no better - in fact I was worse. Now I had headaches, body aches, chills, and nausea.
has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects.
HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
I went to ER and i have Mastitis, the pain was so terrible that it started radiating in my back and i couldnt left my right arm. I had switched to nursing DD at night when i went bacxk to work(she is7 months now. So i was deciding not to BF any more but i wasnt sure when would be a good time, since i have mastitis and the medication that im on the ER dr told me to pump and dump for the next 10 days, so i figured this would be a good time to stop BF.
I am a 35yrs old diagnosed with mastitis about 2 months ago by my family doctor. I went to my family MD with a breast lump, lump under my arm, and all the classic Mastitis symptoms. Mammogram and ultrasound did not detect a problem. 4 rounds of antibiotics and 2 rounds of steroids later, still have a lump. Had a repeat ultrasound last week that detected a 1cm by 3/4 cm lump and 5 enlarged lymph nodes. Biopsies on both came back benign, thank God!
I am a breastfeeding mom of a 7-month-old baby boy. In my 7 months of breastfeeding my baby, I went to the doctor twice because my breasts became tender and whenever breast milk comes out, my breast felt sore. The first time I went to the doctor, she gave me antibiotics and my breasts became normal. 2 weeks ago, I felt that my breast is painful again. I went to the doctor and gave me antibiotics again. And now, I feel it again. I can also feel some lumps and my right boob is painful again.
I have been terrified lately that I have gotten mastitis from my boyfriend sucking on my nipple? It 's been a little over a week and it is very possible I am making the symptoms up in my head, but my left breast had begun to feel tender me a day after he sucked on it. It was only for about thirty seconds and then he stopped and then did it again. There was no blood, discharge, etc. Knock on wood I don't have a fever or feel ill, and there is no redness or lumps on my breast.
My son is 4 days old and breastfeeding. I'm a nervous wreck about possibly getting mastitis. My left breast is harder than my right one. I'm not sure how you get this. Are there ways of preventing it? And is it even too soon to get it?
Okay, when you get to the site,just add mastitis where it says "Go" in green.
I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis just a month ago. I had a normal mammogram back in Sept.2010, in early April my left breast was sore (but I didn't think much of it because I exercise), then one day my left nipple was inverted (which is abnormal for me), and that's when I felt a hard mass. I had a biopsy with ultrasound, later biopsy to get samples, then an excisional biospy 3 days ago. I'm in no pain, feel great which is so weird about all this.
t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
Anyone had mastitis b4? what were your symptoms. My right breast hurts around the areola and nipple area, also my nipple sorta went flat and wont erect, it also feels like fluid is around the areola area. Going to see lactation consultant today to see whats going on.
From your post, it seems that you are having an inflammation of the breast (mastitis). It is common among breastfeeding mothers. However, it can also occur in non-breastfeeding women as well. Lymph nodes may enlarge secondary to the inflammation.
I agree with a referral to a breast specialist. Breast cancer can sometimes be mistaken as mastitis. There is a type of breast cancer, i.e., inflammatory breast cancer that is very similar to mastitis in presentation.
I'm 32 and breastfeeding and being treated for mastitis without the Nurse Practioner ever looking at my breast. I had mastitis several times with my daughter and never once did I have the dimpling; I also always had a 101 fever with my mastitis. This started as a pea sized lump and I emailed the doctor's office. The nurse said it was likely a clogged duct, massage it. Now a little over a week later it's a half dollar size flat lump under my areola.
If it's not red and no fever, you probably don't have mastitis. Mastitis is an infection in the milk duct that causes pain, fever and you need antibiotics. You may have a blocked milk duct. Call your obstetrician and they'll give you other ways to manage it. Good luck. I know how painful it can be.
What is mastitis?
Hello, so I was diagnosed with Granulomatous mastitis in January 2021 and haven't seen any recent post about it since 2018. I have currently on my 3rd drug treatment course to help with pain and size. Unfortunately this treatment is failing also and I have started to have nipple retraction on my left breast indicating the lumo is growing.
