Need some help on this one!
A co-worker has been breastfeeding her 8 month old since birth without 
problems.  She pumps while at work (2 -3 x per day)
One month ago, she experienced what she thought was a plugged duct (hard, 
sore area on breast). This resolved, somewhat, with heat and massage.  
After a few days, the pain returned - worsened. She was prescribed diflucan 
(intraductal yeast) and dicloxicillin (mastitis) one week ago.
Now, the pain is unbearable!  She reports to double over in pain when/if 
she feeds on affected breast - she can only pump that side (getting very 
little volume), right now - which is also very painful.  After 
breastfeeding or pumping, the pain continies for a couple of hours.
I have instructed her to contact her HCP.  In the meantime, any thoughts??

I would think the meds would have resolved the yeast and mastitis by now.
Thanks,
Becky Lyons, LD, IBCLC
