Give feeding from that side more. Apply a hot fomentation and feed from that side after that. For releiving pain take a pain killer. For that consult your doctor. Do not sleep on that side. Avoid pressure on that, wear loose clothes. If pain continous till next day get it checked by a nearest doctor.

Use moist heat on the breasts for a few minutes, or take a brief hot shower or Use cold compresses for 10 minutes after feedings to reduce swelling. Gently massage and compress the breast when the baby pauses between sucks.
