Dear Barbara, It looks like you have done it all with this woman. How about
a dermatology referral- is the nipple tenderness alone enough to warrant
that? If he/she has no ideas, they might at least agree to prescribe oral
antibiotics-I keep thinking back to that recent JHL article. I wonder if the
study cases who benefited from the ABs had "infectious" bacteria levels in
their milk....? How about a few days of ibuprofen to effect the probable
inflammatory process. Sorry for the feeble attempt at ideas!! Good luck.
