Clogged duck situation

by Mandy
(Minnesota)

I just recovered from mastitis. I was very sick and in a lot of pain. I was a full time pumper and just weaned myself off of pumping all together. I noticed yesterday I have a clogged duck. I don't know how to get rid of it since I am done pumping and I am afraid it will turn to mastitis again!

Hi Mandy

Here are some things you can try...

- Take a warm shower and massage the plugged area from the top of the breast towards the nipple. Do this as often as you can.

- Stay away from tight fitted bras, or bras with under-wire.

- Use a cold compress on the area to relieve pain.

- Drink plenty of fluid and at least 8 glasses of plain water daily.

- As a last resort you can try therapeutic ultrasound at your local physiotherapy office. (2 watts/cm2, continuous, for five minutes to the affected area, once daily for two days.)

Hope this helps!
