thrush from zithromax

[Jeana]

Oh no! I began having a vaginal yeast infection from using Zithromax and yesterday decided to skip my Zithromax dose and began using Monistat. Then, just this morning, when Alex was feeding I felt a really hot, burning sensation from my nipple all the way up to my armpit. Based on what I had read while attempting to see what was okay to treat my vaginal yeast infection with while nursing, I'm almost positive I have thrush. What should I do? I was going to quit nursing soon anyway, so should I just stop? What's the best treatment for thrush? Please, please I really need help.

Check your temp. If you have a temp you may have mastitis. I wasn't aware thrush has the radiating feeling. I wouldn't dx breastfeedign until you know what you are dealing with. Are you at increased risk for mastitis culturing MRSA? As you probably know I feel I started culturing MRSA after having mastitis. Mastitis is usually caused by a staph infection so it makes sense. It's an opportunistic bug so it looks for the weakest place which was my lungs.

The reason you want to continue to breastfeed is that Alex is best at getting the milk out over pumping as you know. As you get over the mastitis you want to get all the milk out because it also has the infection but his stomach can handle killing the bacteria. If you leave the milk in there you risk an abcess which is a closed area of infection that he (and you)will not be able to drain rather you'll have to get it drained. So keep bf'ing and I did also have thrush of the nipple which I treated with nystatin (and bactroban in case there was bacteria too). I was able to bf with both drugs on my nipple.

I would call you OB they will know if this radiating feeling you are having is characteristic of just thrush or if it is more likely mastitis. The treatment for mastitis was doxycycline or dicloxicyclin can't remember. Good luck!
