Hello Wise Ones,
i am wondering what info you have available as to how soon antibiotic
treatment is required for mastitis.  Generally if a mom has fever >101 and
flu-like symptoms, we send her to the pharmacy right away (as opposed to the
woman who has a sore, red-streaked breast, but no fever or generalized
malaise).  Last night at 10 PM (right after the last pharmacy in town
closes) I got a call from a mom with a high fever, sore, red breast, and flu
sx.  I asked her to go to Urgent Care and get the required Rx, just to be on
the safe side.  Could she have safely waited until morning, or would that
have put her at increased risk for a breast abcess?
Your responses are much appreciated.
