Lachlan (youngest) was just 7 days old when I spiked a fever of 39.9 randomly and realized I had developed mastitis.<\/b> I was absolutely shocked and taken back by this diagnosis. I had had this so many times, I knew what to watch for, I was looking and feeding and doing everything in my power to avoid that nasty little bitch mastitis. With Lucas I developed it at 7 days as well, and was admitted to the hospital for how severe it was<\/span> (read that story here)<\/span><\/a>. I called my midwife and she sent a prescription so my local pharmacy for pick up, but suggested I wait 24 hours and try to get the clog out myself. Having had mastitis 9 times in 12 months with my first, I was a pro and getting rid of it before needing antibiotics. I was always able to fight the fever and get the infected clog out! So I gave it a shot this time, but this clog would not budge and my fever was set rocketing to 39.9 – time to start a treatment plan. Honestly at this point I was in pain from delivery, my breasts hurt, I was exhausted, and the fever was making my bones and head ache deeply, so a natural option was not high on my to find list. I started the antibiotics, but they did not start helping for 48 hours, I even made a quick trip to the hospital ER where they gave me a once over and after a few hours decided I could continue to treat at home with antibiotics.<\/span><\/p>

Blah blah blah, ok so I had mastitis. I started antibiotics. Great, here’s why I was not ready to start them again when I developed the infection again a week and a bit later\u2026<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Antibiotics come with a long ass list of what can happen and side effects. I pretty much was subject to every side effect listed on the document. I got the mouth sores on my gums, I got cold sores, bloody stools, painful constipation, teeth aching, and the list goes on. Not to mention thrush and yeast infections are HUGE with antibiotics.<\/span><\/p>

Another solid reason is that your body can become immune to the antibiotics after so many uses, and my number of uses was getting high. I was ready to find another way to beat this.<\/span><\/p>

My mom came over, my temp was 39 degrees and I was struggling to move. She knew we needed to act fast, we called my midwife and had a prescription ready but she wanted to try something different and so did I. She hopped on google and found many different answers from people about what natural medications or remedies could help, but I wasn\u2019t convinced. She decided she would go to a<\/span> Naturalpathic Doctor\/Store<\/span><\/a> in Abbotsford, and explain my symptoms and ask about these medications online. She went to<\/span> Bani Homeopathy<\/b><\/a> or otherwise known at Lifecare Homeopathic Clinic just off the Clearbook exit area \u2014 #1 32056 South Fraserway.<\/b> She spoke with Dr. Shveta Saini who was a family doctor before changing to homeopathy care!<\/span> Info on her here.<\/span><\/a> My mother explained everything that was going on, how many times I had had mastitis and how high my fever gets. Dr. Shveta was amazing and hoped to it finding a homeopathic fix for my infection.<\/span><\/p>

Why do you want to treat clogged ducts instantly? Well obviously for mastitis but also because they can turn into cysts and need to be popped and removed by a surgical doctor in some cases!<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

R1 (a cocktail of things I believe, in a liquid form) for the infection itself.<\/b>
<\/b>I was to take this twice a day, morning and night 5 drops each time into some water. I took this for about one week to be sure the infection was gone, however it cleared after a few days of this remedy.<\/span><\/p>

Hepa Sulph<\/b>
<\/b>I was to take this for my fever, 7 tablets in 1\/4th cup water. Morning, afternoon and evening. This took awhile to kick in (about 5 hours or so) so I did take Tylenol in the meantime to lower my fever which was now 39.9 degrees. However this worked amazing in my opinion, after the few hours it took, I no longer needed the Tylenol and I wasn\u2019t having the symptoms of a fever, but my temp was still a BIT warm but nothing crazy. Eventually after 3 days my temperature was completely gone, and so were all the fever symptoms.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Dr. Shveta was amazing, and I now swear by this! And HER! I would suggest to all my friends to visit her if you can catch mastitis early enough, or for another infection\/illness! She may have different prescriptions for different patients an symptoms.<\/span>
