More Into The Picture

Within less than a day, more female followers commented with the same concern. There were around 10-20 such comments where ladies were pointing at the same condition. If Zoe hadn’t taken their words seriously, her condition would have turned to worse in the course of days.

The Midwife

A follower stated, “As a midwife, I’d say you have mastitis. I really hope you’ve jumped on it now. Best of luck it bloody sucks.” This is one of the many comments that Zoe was receiving on her recent picture with her little harper. 

More Comments

Another person said: “Worst illness ever — hope you’re feeling better soon.” They were feeling bad for her and wanted her to get well soon. And the number of such comments increased from 20 to 274 in no time. There were so many people who agreed with the midwife’s comment related to mastitis.

A Little Googling

The couple googled the word mastitis. As the people said, its symptoms include severe breast pain, swelling, warmth, fever, and chills. All of these symptoms were matching with Zoe’s state. And that’s when they knew they have to get to their doctor.

Getting It Checked

The couple decided to visit the doctor as soon as they reach home. They did explain the whole scenario and the doctor informed them that there were high chances of mastitis being the reason behind Zoe’s troubles.

The Diagnosis

The commenters were right, Zoe was diagnosed with mastitis. It is said to be caused due to a blocked milk duct or bacteria entering the breast. It can occur to the women who are breastfeeding especially those who are in the first 3 months of feeding.
