Yes, u can to express the milk otherwise there is chance the breast gets engorged leading to abscess formation... Use a manual or an electric breast pump and express all the milk.. before expressing use hot fomentation for atleast half n hour and then express... If u have lot of pain u can take any analgesic before pumping... Lactare likely increases milk supply but before that u have to remove milk from both breasts

Use breast pum to remove the milk or manual/ hand milk expression. Milk has to be pumped out to increase its production. If breasts are not getting emptied then lactare tablets won't be of any help. As the body will think there is no demand
