Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pain in non used breast while breast feeding, can be due collection of milk causing inflammation of milk gland inflammation / abscess. A course of antibiotic, anti inflammatory drugs along with hormones to stop milk secretion( while you wean the baby& start with top feeds, normal food gradually) is what you need.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
