Engorged boobs

Im only 5 days PP but i already felt engorged, for the first time. What should i do 😣 its hard as rock and very painful. Ive tried hot compress for few minutes, epsom salt, pump for 15 mins each side, only relieved for a few mins then it went back to being engorged. Is it normal ? And what should i do ? I scared if i pump again itll over stimulate. Fyi, im exclusive pumping only not latching. Im also currently taking fenugreek, should i stop? #FTM #firstbaby

ice compress. if warm compress it will encourage more milk production also. still need to clear cuz mastitis is 🥵. had that n luckily went to tcm to massage out to clear. it was already hardening like cheese consistency!! tcm said if i was later, might have to operate liao
