My sister asked me to come and ask for help for her.
She stopped pumping for her son (she EP'ed a year for each of her 3 boys) about a month or so ago. She had battled thrush the last few months and it seemed to be all gone.
Now her right nipple/areola is very painful to the touch (but not itchy, but she never had itching with the thrush) and the ducts (the dots on the areola) are all looking "cheesey". I don't know how to describe it but there is a white film on her nipple and white cheesey stuff coming out of the ducts. Her other nipple looks normal (she showed me, in desperation!).
Is this thrush? If not what IS it?
She is on vacation visiting us and can't go to her regular doc until next week at the earliest, and he's not up on bf info, so I don't know how helpful he'd be... he's a family doc. Anyway, she's done diflucan I think a dozen times over the past few months when she was trying to get rid of it.... she's doing gentian violet and has done nystatin as well...
I saw this Kerry's Herbals kit... is this what she needs??
