Thrush & clogged milk ducts

My boy has had thrush for 3 months. We went through two bottles of Nystatin and then bought the violet stuff. Nothing has worked (well it got better, but has not disappeared). I had it in the beginning and had to treat myself as well. I took him to the doc on Friday and he is now on stronger medication. Hopefully it works!! But now I have clogged milk ducts. Are clogged milk ducts related to Thrush? Just curious because I never had this problem BFing my DD, but she never had Thrush. I've had clogged ducts 4 times with my son now. This time I can't get rid of them! I tried a heating pad, hot shower, massaging, feeding, pumping.... I don't know what to do, It hurts! Any suggestions? Thanks!

    You are doing everything that you have to do. If the milk ducts gets worse you might need to go see ur doctor. I hope u feel better

    I had plugged ducts that turned into an infection a month ago. What ended up helping was as weird as it sounds taking a hot shower, using my hair brush over the plugged ducts, and then pumping. It didn't hurt and it seemed to really help. It still took me a couple days to get rid of them. Now I have to make sure I get that side totally empty or I start feeling a lump again.
