If the condition is serious and there is local redness and swelling, you can seek medical attention and give acupuncture or medication. 1. Local hot compresses: You can use hot towels to apply hot compresses on the breast area to promote blood circulation, which can slowly unblock the milk ducts and thus promote milk discharge. 2. This is the healthiest and safest way to get rid of the milk. You can also use a breast pump to squeeze out the extra milk; 3. Massage: If there is an obvious hard lump in the breast, use 2-3 fingers to gently press around the hard lump, and then follow the radial milk duct structure to gently push the hard lump toward the nipple; if there is no obvious hard lump and the breast is very swollen, you can grab the whole breast in your hand and follow the radial milk duct structure like a comb from the breast to the nipple.
