Are you having fever or feeling sick? It could be mastitis or blocked ducts. Latching baby constantly is the best way to remove the blockage though it's important to make sure baby latches on correctly and is able to drink the milk. You can also do warm compress, massage and hand express. If you're not sure about anything or if the pain persists it's best to visit a lactation consultant who can help remove the blockage and also teach you massage techniques and make sure baby latches on correctly.

Everything linh said, and if is not blocked ducts, a cold cabbage leaf can help ease swelling a little

Breastmilk is a supply and demand thing. If u intend to breastfeed and have a good supply, can start to pump on regular intervals. This will send a signal to the body to make more milk.
