In reference to the mom with repeated mastitis, she needs to boost her
immune system in conjunction to getting adequate rest. Repeated infections
as well as frequent antibiotics DECREASE immune function.  I
would recommend: Echinacea with Goldenseal, Garlic, Coenzyme Q10,
Flax seed oil, Zinc and of course a good multivitamin. In addition, I would
recommend castor oil packs....maybe used daily till this subsides. Also, it
sounds like thrush may be a problem too and if it isn't yet I'm sure it will
be with all
the antibiotics. WHEW!!!! Good luck!!
