no no no! You have a puncture! its going to be swollen and its going to be sore! now if you are not current on your shots, and vacines then yes see your doctor asap! if will not affect your breast feeding!. make sure you wash the area regularly with soap and water, and put some antibiotic ointment on it covered with a bandage!.!.!. now if it gets worse see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
im only 19 and i dont have any children, but i think the smart thing to do would see a doctor definitely!. you are smart for realizing that this could affect the milk you are giving to your baby because i have heard some bad stories regarding infections and breastfeeding!. go now and good luck!. trust your instincts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
dont breast feed anymor until u see a doctor because you may need a shot ! this can affect your baby so i would go to the er because it will take too long to make an appointment your doctor will tell you what to do from here good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
