So Monday and Tuesday I began to notice some pain and swelling in my breats and then Wednesday I was hit with the chills and fever aches and pains all over, and sudden weakness. I dragged myself to an urgent care clinic, who told me that my fever was 103 and that I needed to go to the E.R asap.
Once admitted to the ER they determined I had mastitis with no abcess and put me on IV fluids, IV antibiotics and IV pain meds. They released me Wednesday night and I rested mostyly Thursday.
Then I woke up on Friday with a massive fever blister in the corner of lips, one on the inside of my upper lip that has my lip swollen and a few fever blisters on my tongue.
Its soo painful to eat and talk. Im on oral antibiotics but its Saturday now and these fever blisters/cold sores are a drag.
Is this normal? Cold sores after mastitis? Any explanations or knowledge on this?
Well mastitis and antibiotics compromise the immune system, that's when herpes viruses tend to flair. If they don't start getting better when the office opens give them a call and see what they suggest. Keep your mouth away from baby it up they're cleared.
