POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It sounds like you may be experiencing mastitis or a clogged milk duct, which can cause severe breast pain, hardness, and tenderness. Here’s what you can do to relieve the pain and address the issue:
1. Continue Breastfeeding or Pumping: Keep feeding from the affected breast or pump milk to help unblock any clogged ducts. Even though it can be painful, it can prevent milk buildup and reduce the chances of infection.
2. Warm Compress: Apply a warm compress to the affected area before feeding. This can help open the ducts and ease the flow of milk. You can use a warm towel or take a warm shower.
3. Massage the Area: Gently massage the hard, painful area of your breast while feeding or pumping to encourage milk flow and help clear any blockages.
4. Cold Compress After Feeding: After feeding, apply a cold compress to the breast to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
5. Pain Relief: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (if not contraindicated for you) to reduce pain and inflammation. Consult your doctor before taking any medication.
6. Hydration and Rest: Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest, as both can help your body fight off any potential infection.
7. Monitor for Infection: If you develop a fever, flu-like symptoms, or the area becomes red and more painful, it could be an infection (mastitis), and you should see your doctor promptly. In some cases, antibiotics may be needed.
If the pain persists or worsens, or if you're unable to resolve the issue on your own, it's important to consult a doctor or lactation consultant for further evaluation and treatment.
