Hi! This is my first time posting to LACTNET. I have a puzzling case and need help. I received a call from a co-worker several weeks ago with a patient who had burning in the breast after nursing (yeast?). She was treated with diflucan and the baby with nystatin. The pain and burning in the breast is better, but today I received a call and the patient is complaining of minimal pain during breastfeeding. She reports that the nipple and areola are dark red and tender to touch, but appx. 10 minutes after nursing the nipple turns white and is very painful for about 5-10 min. The nurse also said that 5 times during the past 8 wks (baby is 8 wks old) the patient has c/o of temperature, chills, and body aches that resolve with 1 dose of tylenol. She has been evaluated for mastitis on more than 1 occasion. Thank you for your help in advance. I have really enjoyed reading all the posts. Beverly, IBCLC
