  Thanks M! I thought of you yesterday cuz I remember that you had to deal with mastitis and thrush at the same time somewhat recently, right? Ugh, I can't imagine. I feel much better today already. It amazed me how quickly it came on...at 8am, I still thought I might go meet up with my girlfriend for a walk, by 9 I thought I was a little sore and tired and needed a nap, and by noon I had 102 fever. Crazy! Fortunately, the antibiotics and Tylenol are working quickly though too. Thanks again

  Yes, it's amazing how quickly it knocks you down.  I had a very similar experience, but the saving grace was that just as quickly as it hit me, it went away after a dose of antibiotics.  The wonders of modern medicine...

  If you do get thrush because of antibiotics, do you know what to do?  I don't want to give unsolicited advice, but I'll just share what worked for me.  The nurses at Kaiser told me to buy a basic tube of anti-fungal cream.  They said NOT to get the stuff used for yeast infections, but the kind used for athlete's foot.    Pleasant, right?  Anyway, after nursing you let the nipple air dry then put some on- they told me to try to remember to wipe it off before nursing so H wouldn't ingest it.  I forgot a few times and freaked out a little (ok, a lot) but honestly... it soaked in so completely, there was nothing left to wipe off even when I did remember.  It took care of the thrush in just a few days.

  Good luck!  Get well soon!
