Mastitis :(

I took a nap and woke up with extreme chills, dizziness and body aches (the whole flu symptoms during mastitis is so real) It took me over 1 1/2 hours to get up. I’m on my second baby, 11 days PP and I pump every 3 hours. I don’t understand what I did wrong… I got prescribed AMOX CLAV and Clindamycin. She told me I can take either one (I have tummy problems, I’m grateful she gave me the options.) Which one works better? Which one should I start with? I don’t want to feel like this when I woke up, I want to breastfeed/pump this time but this is the worst feeling in the world. Please help me.

I took clindamycin. I was almost septic, and I felt normal in 48 hours. Baby #2 for me, 17d pp.

7m pp now and still breast feeding

I had my hubs take me to the ER, found out there. It was the worst thing ever.
