Hello,
Thank you for asking your question at healthcare magic
I understand your concern.
There are few things that you can try to reopen the clogged duct
-Take warm shower/apply warm compress on the affected breast
-Try pumping milk from affected breast more
-
Massage the clog towards the nipple
-Have your baby feed from affected breast first
-Use
Tylenol (if not allergic) for pain and discomfort
Usually the clogged duct reopens and you will not have problems breast feeding
However if the condition is persistent for a long time or if you develop
severe pain, swelling and
redness of breast,fever
chills etc which are signs of infection, Immediately consult your doctor. Your will need antibiotics to clear the infection
Hope I was able to help you.
Please feel free to address any more concerns.
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
