Today my breast has been tender, sore to touch, red patches that are hot. I called doctor, and he says definite infection, and prescribed penicillin. I was wondering, if yiu have gas mastitis, what antibiotic dud they give? I am nervous about thrush. Woukd yiu wait to see if I develop an infection?
Re: Oh nomastitis question!
I personally hate taking antibiotics whether I'm nursing or not. I would suggest trying everything you can to get that clog out before taking the meds.

They gave me penicillin for it. My LC told me to take a probiotic and avoid eating a lot of sugar/carbs while on it to avoid thrush.
