If a person has been appropriately treated for fungal infection with the
appropriate drugs for the appropriate length of time and had no improvement,
then it's time to reconsider the dx.  Particularly  if there are no other
indications beyond pain that have led to the presumption of fungal
over-growth (ie no evidence of thrush in baby, diaper rashes, vaginal
yeasts, or fungal infections in other family members.)   Re-read the
execellent Fall issue of the Journal of Human Lactation and review Lisa
Amir's article on mastitis, and Verity Livingston's article on mastitis.
Sometimes pain (even without fever) is a symptom of an unresolved, chronic,
bacterial infection.
