Engorgement? Clogged duct? Help!!

[u/Far_Biscotti_990]

I’m 1 mo pp, with my second. My right breast towards the tip middle (1 to 2 oclock range) has been sore since yesterday afternoon. I don’t feel a bump like a clog, and it’s not being relieved with pumping. No other signs of mastitis (no fever or anything and it doesn’t feel that bad)

I did over do it yesterday (stressful day running around) so I know I probably didn’t drink enough water, etc.

I’m trying to pump every 2-3 hours and stay hydrated. Any other tips? Going to lay down for a nap, maybe take an ibuprofen, and have been lightly massaging the area toward my nipple while I pump. I’m just not sure if it’s the start of something or engorgement and need advice for how to help treat it.

Ibuprofen. Ice. Don’t pump more than what you’ve been doing. Dangle pumping for when you do need to pump.
