A member asked:
My 15 month old suddely weaned herself and i'm very engorged. what medication can i take to stop milk production?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try these: Engorged breasts can be very painful and uncomfortable. Some home remedies to dry up the milk production include Sudafed (psuedoephedrine), Sage tea, topical peppermint essential oil, and cold cabbage leaves applied directly to the breasts. Pain relief can be had with ice packs, warm showers, Acetaminophen/Ibuprofen, and hand expression of small amounts of milk.
