Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Happy Thanksgiving everyone, Does anyone have experience with mastitis? I have had what I thought was a plugged duct for about 3 days now. It is a sore lump in my right breast but it is not hot or red. I've been massaging it, hot water bottle, nursing a lot (daughter is 28 months). I've been taking raw garlic, colloidal silver, vit C and echinacea tea for the last 24 hours or so. Yesterday afternoon and evening I had a low grade fever, so I am suspecting mastitis. I am also PMSing and feeling run down anyway. This all happened after a bunch of my nursing bras finally fell apart and I started wearing tighter sports bras on a regular basis. I am going to the Urgent Care clinic this morning and I know he is going to give me antibiotics. Is there anyway I can avoid taking antibiotics for this or is it a must? I read mega doses of Vitamin C 3000-4000mg on kellymom.com. What form of C is best for that? About how long should it take to resolve? Thanks in advance especially on Thanksgiving, Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
