Seems like it is ok? It looks like you have to tell your doctor you are BFing (which obviously you did...) but it doesn't say NOT to take it.
Feel better Marissa

Re: very bad infection/mastitis...103 fever- help!
When I had it really bad, I had to go into the hospital to get IV antibiotics . My infection was spreading by the minute and I had a wicked high fever too. I had a mass under my arm about the size of a plum within 30 minutes of starting to feel crappy. I was totally fine in a few hours. I had to pump and dump for 24 hours.

I don't know anything about it...but I think if you want more info about the Rx, I think I would call another pharm and tell them the pharmacist you received the meds from wasn't helpful and see if they would be able to help you

kellymom.com is a great resource for mastitis and safe meds as well. I hope you feel better soon, when I had it I felt better fairly quickly after starting antibiotics.
