hi
you can try different feeding positions to prevent pain while feeding.
but make sure your child latches properly because mostly it is caused by improper latching.
you can apply different things like pure aloe vera gel, Olive oil , apple cider vinegar , or gently rub ice cube on sore nipples.
wear loose fitting Cotton clothes.
keep your self well hydrated.
