Hi Janet,

I'm terribly behind in my Lactnet posts (obviously) but thought I'd reply
just in case someone else hasn't mentioned the homeopathic remedy
Belladonna.  It's perfect for all the symptoms of mastitis, and acts
particularly fast if you start taking it as soon as the symptoms start.

Hope she's doing well.
