37 weeks mastitis

eespringer

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with mastitis today. I know it's not extremely common while women are still pregnant. My dr has put me on an antibiotic and told me to take Tylenol for my fever and pain. My breast is not getting better at all...it's becoming more painful, more red, and harder. The doctor doesn't want me to pump because it could throw me into labor so I can't really get any relief. I've tried everything...massaging, hot showers, hot compress, and cabbage. Does anyone have any other pointers or ideas about what I can do to ease the pain and get some relief?

Thanks!
