thrush or mastitis??

Hi Folks

I quick question as unsure if I have got thrush or mastis or something. In one boob it hurts for the majority of the feed behind in the nipple like a very strong let down. The other breast is totally fine. I can't feel any lumps or see any red patches on my breast and feel ok in general so it does seem like I have mastitis. My little one is 8 months old and I haven't stopped feeding him he still has a good feed from both breasts about 5.30am then a short feed at 7.30-8am then a good feed at 12.-12.30 and 4.30-5 before a good feed about 7.30-8pm before bed. Any ideas?

thanks ladies
