Soon, I realised that I was running a temperature and my boobs began to feel even more painful. I immediately called an SOS to my mum, asking her to come over to care for Bubbles so that I could see a doctor.
Thank God for mums - mine cancelled her facial appointment to rush over. She arrived seeing me shivering under a duvet.
The doctor's diagnosis proved my suspicions right. I have been given a 5-day dose of antibiotics. My immediate concern was whether I could continue breastfeeding, and my doctor assured me that I could.
Still, I am now pumping 4 hours after I take an antibiotic pill and throwing that batch of milk away. (I have been told that after 4 hours, stuff in the stomach gets into the rest of the body's system) So less of it gets into her. I am not sure how much that would help, and it is painful seeing the milk go down the drain, but for her I have been doing it.

The noble things mommies do... Really hope you get better soon! It must have been really painful! :( Take care lots, dear!
Oh dear! I hope you get lots of rest!! Is bubbles taking well to the bottle while you pump and throw?
Think of pumping and throwing as keeping your supply up! :) The more you pump the more you get to throw! :D
You're doing so well. =)
Take care of yourself!! God bless. :)

Hope you feel better soon. It's tough being ill when you have to take care of a baby!
Thanks all :) Am better now although milk supply has suddenly dropped :(
Hope you have fully recovered. Don't worry; supply will go up again with regular nursing. I'm back and finally nursing after finishing them ghastly meds.
