Good point SquishysMum.  Something didn't seem right there but I couldn't quite figure out what

The doctor said the abs were to treat an infection, they didn't say which type (I just assumed thrush because that's what I suggested it may be) so I'm guessing that they think I've got early stages of mastitis.  I'll ring them in the morning to clarify.

Thanks again.

Ummm... thrush is a fungal infection, and will not be fixed by antibiotics. Hope they gave you an anti fungal script as well!]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 17:44:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021802&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021802 <![CDATA[Really really really sore nipple : Thanks so much ladies.

Thanks so much ladies. 

Thrush hadn't even occured to me but since you mentioned it I went to my docs and they said that although they can't see any signs of thrush it definitely sounds like the start of an infection and prescribed me ab tablets, they didn't see the point in waiting for it to get worse just so they could 'see' it and after 10 months of feeding there was not even a suggestion that he may be latching wrong. 

I'm so relieved that it is something easily solved.  Thanks again.

Yup I third thrush. I had it for weeks with H was a few weeks old and nearly gave up BF as it hurt so so much and I had no idea what it was! He never got white spots in his mouth either.

My GP suggested micreme for my nipple and nilstat drops for H. Worked wonders! You don't need a script for them, just ask your pharmacist. Oh, and you can use the drops on your nipple as well but I found that as they are cherry flavoured and I think have some sweetener in them they made the bra stick to my nipple and that hurt. ]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 13:39:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021481&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021481 <![CDATA[Really really really sore nipple : yeah, sounds like it could be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021154&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021154 Author: SquishysMum

yeah, sounds like it could be thrush - can you see any white spots inside DS's mouth? When I had it my nipple was the first, the spots didn't show in DD for a day or 2, and MAN it hurt!!! Daktarin oral gel is good, but micreme H on the nipple is best, kicks it in the teeth really quickly. ]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 08:45:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021154&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021154 <![CDATA[Really really really sore nipple : Could it be thrush?

Could it be thrush?

I am currently experiencing the same thing... and it hurts quite bad after feeding too.. the only thing that helps is having a hot shower!

I know I asked about it when Jake was teeny and most of the responses said it sounded like thrush.

Mine could be pg though too I suppose, off to the dr tomorrow so hopefully she will have some answers.

Hugs, its horrible have ouchy boobs!]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 22:29:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021050&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021050 <![CDATA[Really really really sore nipple : I&#039;ve developed a really sore...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33319&PID=1021040&title=really-really-really-sore-nipple#1021040 Author: MrsMojo

I've developed a really sore nipple/areola over the last day or so.  It initially felt as though he'd just kneaded a bit too hard with those sharp little teeth of his but I would have noticed if he'd bit me, it's only on one side and it's getting worse not better.

It hurts all the time but especially when he feeds off that side and feels kind of like a nipple bleb except I've checked my nipple and there is no little blister.  I've wondered each time he feeds off that side whether he will draw a block closer to the surface but no joy.  I have no lumps that would suggest a blocked duct or mastitis and the pain is really focussed in my areola and nipple. 

Any ideas what this might be?  More importantly any ideas to fix it would be greatly appreciated. 

I'll continue to feed through the pain but I'd rather feed without pain if at all possible.
