我都中左招!!! 估唔到餵左一年多, 宜家至黎乳腺炎!!!! rose-mag, 點解我個醫生叫我唔好俾發炎果邊 bb 食0既??? 佢話會食到0的膿同菌啊, 佢叫我淨係泵發炎果邊, 餵無事果邊...
我前日出事, 101 度燒, 尋晚終於泵到0 ...
Poor us!!!!
My ob said that it's normal to have mastitis and what I can do is to empty the breasts after every feeding or pumping. I think that our cases are different. My ob said that my issue is just milk clogging, no 膿 (she pressed on my breast - very painful - and only milk came out and no really hard stuff). She said if I had 膿, there would be a very hard stuff in the breast, big like a little rock, very very very painful and we can see that popping out when I laid down. You can check if you have that, if yes, I think that it's why your ob told you not to feed your daughter with that breast as she may swallow 的膿同菌. I also suspected that my Amanda had drank some 膿 before as I saw some stuff in brown color on her face and her bib but when I pumped out milk, it's all white and the taste was still the same.
Even though you 終於泵到0的膿出黎, it still takes some time to recover - at least you need to empty the breasts often until it returns to be soft like before. I have finished the 7-day antibiotics program but still feel a little bit painful because the milk ducts are not fully cleared and my daughter had hurt my nipples so much. I just visited my ob this morning and she explained to me that I'm fine now, no more infection and I need to pump or feed to empty the breasts. I also asked her if it's necessary to reduce production but she said that it's difficult to control how much to reduce. The extreme case is that it would stop production if she gives me some medication to reduce milk supply.
I really 用力按the hard part of the breast when I pumped. The method is to massage it hardly with a circle motion and push it towards the nipple (hope you understand what I said, I can type in Chinese when I'm at home if you don't get it). It won't clear and soften at one time but I kept doing that and after 3 days, my left breast was not as hard as before and I felt less pain. Now, the redness of the breast gone even though I still feel painful. I think that your infection may be more serious than mine - that's why your 醫生asked you唔好整發炎果度. Actually, 消左炎may not mean it will 通返but if it's still 發炎, the clog will not go away. Even though you cannot feed your daughter, you still need to pump regularly or once you feel engorged (I pumped or fed every 2-3 hours in the past week except at night which I pumped once or twice in the middle of night). To me, pumping cannot help clear the clogging, I needed to squeezed out some milk by hand. Believe me, you have to squeeze really hard to get the milk out.
I hot pressed the clogged breast before pumping or feeding. You can use a hot pad or just use a sock with rice or beans in it, microwave it for 1-2 minutes and massage your breast with it. It can help the milk coming out more easily. After pumping or feeding, use a cold pad to reduce redness and swallowness. Keep yourself warm - wear socks, turtle neck and hat if necessary. When I had the fever for 3 straight days, I worn all these all the times (just looked like an idiot 
mouth: ) When I had my interview, I was the one with thick jacket and scarf while the people in the interview panel worn short sleeves
. 如果我成日攪佢、會唔會發炎發得仲勁??????? Do whatever that make yourself feel more comfortable, don't worry about the milk production or anything else. We can always "chase" for supply later. My production has reduced now as compared to before, only 4-5oz each pumping at work but it's fine to me as Amanda is not a big eater.
Take more rest, take pain killer if you need to (so that you can rest), drink more water which can help to wash the bacteria out of your body, keep yourself warm and you would be fine in a week's time. Take care!!!
