Warm shower, warm compress and hand massage, from the top of breast going down along each side and especially where the clog is. Pumping just enough to give relief is ok, but pumping beyond that will only signal to you body that it's need to produce more and create a bigger problem. Getting your baby on there to nurse is truly the best way to help this! And don't be afraid to use ice after. Alternate. Warm to get milk flowing, cold to give relief between. Using frozen cabbage leaves can as ice packs helps. It's a some and effective way of bringing relief bc the cup the breast and are the perfect shape for fitting inside your bra. And no cabbage won't dry your milk. It is used during that process though for comfort but not an actual drying agent. Best wishes!

Don’t over pump because it can just stimulate more milk and cause more pain. Try taking a hot shower and massage it out with your hands. See if you can find the clog and sort of pinch and scratch your nipple in that spot to loosen the clog. You can also get soy lecithin pills from a supplement store and take 2 of them 2x a day until it clears. That worked pretty quickly for me.
