[milkmachine]

ive woken up this morning with all the symptoms of mastitis this is the second time ive had this in the same breast. im in so much pain! my question is, is there any way i can treat this without antibiotics? i had them with it last time and they made me feel worse.

I had a bought of it this weekend as well, man it make me feel horrible.

but here is what I do.
As soon as I notice the sorness and/or redness. I take a warm shower and just massage the knot towards the nipple to help break up the knot.

I double up on my vit C. I also take mix a shot of fruit juice, grapeseed extract (20 driops) and one dropper full triple source echinacia. It taste horrible, but I have kept it from going into full on mastitis all 3 times.

I also mix a pultice of comfrey leaves and castor oil and keep that on the spot when not feeding. Along with heat from a heating pad. I also stay in bed or on the sofa as much as I can.

All this I got from my MW.

If I start getting feverish and feeling flu-y I take oil of Oregano, but only for a day as it can interfere with milk production, but it is a very good natural anti-biotic.

I massaged the sore area in the bath twice a day, ensured the bra was not too tight and slept with it undone (the front bits that you undo to feed), made sure the baby fed with its chin by the sore area to promote the release of the blocked area. Took a couple of days to settle but I didn't need to go the the doctors.

My nurse here said to go in within 4 hours if you get a fever and chills (which I did)

Hopefully the home remedies work! I heard that garlic is good (like the other person posted)
