Mono (me, not baby)

ns1

So...the dr. thinks I have mono.  I have a wicked sore throat and was going to just run into the dr., get an antibiotic for the strep throat I was sure I had, take my antibiotic, and call it good.  No such luck!

I won't know if I actually have mono though until next week, since it won't show in blood work for about 7-10 days after symptoms start.  

In the meantime, a few questions. 

1. So, I just figured that it's okay to keep bf'ing LO like it is with just about any other sickness.  Is this the case actually?

2. And does anyone know what I can do to help with the sore throat?

3. My dr. said to help it run its course more quickly to up my vitamin C and zinc with something like Emergen-C.  But...I've been avoiding anything like that (Airborne) because I didn't think they were ok with breastfeeding!  So, anyone know anything suitable to take while bf'ing that can help my immune system kick some mono-booty!

Continue breastfeeding. If you have mono, your baby is already exposed. Breastfeeding lets baby access your immune system.
