Doctor : In fact you can even take an ADVIL like pain killer to ease the pain
Doctor : if the heat pack does not help
User : yeah do that already and i take nurofen and sometimes panadeine
Doctor : Ok
Doctor : I usually recommend that you wear a support bra rather than an underwire bra
User : ok
Doctor : One more thing if you are not wearing the bra at night, and still pain
Doctor : You may even want to wear the bra while you sleep. The bra should cup the breasts firmly, without binding or biting.
User : okay i will try
Doctor : packs
Doctor : If heat packs are not helping, then try refreezable packs
Doctor : put at least for 15 minutes
User : okay !!
Doctor : This will slow the flow of fluids to the breasts, which will help reduce the swelling.
Doctor : Cut salt and processed foods
Doctor : Cut coffee too, it may help
User : dont eat that stuff !!

Doctor : I hope you do not have any discharge from the nipples
User : i had it once
