Plugged duct, thought cleared, fever

Yesterday I was engorged on one side overnight. I didn't realize until last night I probably have a plugged duct, I thought I just hadn't got that side emptied.

When I realized it was plugged (late evening yesterday), I did warm compress and massage. I pumped. I've been starting baby on that side when nursing.

I don't think I feel engorged on that duct, but it feels bruised so I can't really tell.

How do I know if it's cleared? I woke up with a 101.5 fever and feeling pretty blah.

    It sounds like mastitis now so call your MD. Sorry & hope you feel better soon!

    ETA continue nursing, warm compresses and massage until you hear from MD or get seen at Urgent Care.

    I knew I had Mastitis because my whole boob was really red. It looked awful. I don't know if that's the same for everyone, but it was obvious to me when it was. Feel better!

    Called my doctor's office. They want to wait and see if it gets worse (pain, redness) before prescribing antibiotics, said it could be a virus.

    So now I'm trying the recommendations on KellyMom to see if they help (rest, garlic, vitamin C, motrin).
