Breast infection for 3rd time

Hi thanks for adding me to this group.... I'm really worried.....had the same breast infection for 3rd time now.... On 2nd lot of antibiotics and not working.... Breast is red, burning hot and extremely painful. Had the infection drained and was so painful.... Back to breast clinic on Monday for possible same painful procedure.... Should I be worried???

  • Hello Chrissy77, 

    I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck for your breast clinic appointment tomorrow. I really hope that they find the cause of these recurrent breast infections. Do mention to them that this second lot of antibiotics isn't working and ask whether they have any advice for you on what to do next. If they are not aware of this already, do talk to them too about your family history. 

    It's good you are being seen tomorrow at the breast clinic and I hope they will resolve the problem for you and that you feel better soon. 

    Best of luck for tomorrow! Keep us updated if you get a chance. 

    Best wishes,
