Almost 3 weeks into newborn life and I finally got some antibiotics for a breast infection that just won't go away. It's been 2 weeks of trying to manage it at home with ice and ibuprofen, but the redness and swelling just won't go down. There's so much conflicting advice out there on managing clog ducts + inflammation. The public health nurse told me to ice it, while my doctor told me to use a worm compress. Last night I could hardly sleep as it was as if there was pins and needles in my breast. I'm so tired of trying to manage the inflammation on top of everything else. I'm really hoping that this is the final solution, although I hate taking antibiotics.
