Block duct 😭

Feeling miserable.. having block breast duct for a day already.. there is a small white bleb but it's flat.. tried massage, warm compress, hot shower, epsom salt, hand express, pump express but either a few drops or nothing.. now base of nipple got a bit of crack and painful.. afraid it will turn into mastitis.. what else to do? Any intro for breast massage lady or other ways to resolve? Thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️

If possible, get your husband to hand express it out for you. get a cold cabbage (must put in freezer first) then put on your breast after like.. few minutes, your breast will soften and get your husband to massage your nipple first then do hand express for you. At this point you hand express yourself no use cause its pain and you wouldnt put too much stength. I've been through this and my husband milked me like a cow cause i was running fever already for like over a day. Nipple will pain, but better tahan before it becomes worst. I was biting on a handkerchief or towel when my husband doing hand express for me and also crying.. but have to tahan. Take care k!

I had a blocked duct twice and had slight fever both times. What i did was take a long, hot shower and massage affected breast under the shower. After, continue nursing or pumping. It will go away after a few days. Hang in there!
