Asked for Female, 32 years

My wife has recently stopped breastfeeding my daughter as she is ALHAMDOLILLAH nearing 2 years. But my wife is having a lot of pain and swelling in her breasts and they are becoming very hard plus according to her the hokes are also blocked with some white material. My query is to suggest me any medicines or remedies to resolve the issue JazakALLAH

Dear Patient,

This is normal when a woman stops nursing and this is the only way milk dries up. the whiteness is milk clogged in ducts which is also normal. there are a few things she can do to help for a few days till pain n engorgement subsides. reach out for a specialist if she runs a high temperature or has chills.
For now, soak a small towel in hot( not warm) water, a little hotter than one can tolerate and do warm compresses of each breast for a good ten minutes every two hours.
Once has done and some milk is released then put cold cabbage leaves in a bra to relieve soreness. Lanolin cream can be used on the nipple
