Can i take antibiotics and pain medication at the same time for mastitis?

Yes.: Actually, that would be the norm. If you are breastfeeding, consult with your child's pediatrician since those medication may enter the breast milk.

Mastitis: Simply put yes. I would need to know the exact name of the medications in order to assess possibly interaction and competition for liver enzymes and also protein binding.
