Its at a particular location and not all over the breast. Location is left extreme side of right breast. I am worried about it now. Pain is felt only on touching. What could be causing this pain? Please help.

It is likely that there is engorgement of breast due to accumulation of breastmilk.
You should express breast milk then wear a tight breast support
Also hot water compression will help
You may take a Crocin if pain is severe

If you have stop feeding your baby and are feeling breast pain it could be because of engorgement or collection of milk in the breast..
kindly do hot water bag fomentation and express breast milk either manually or by using a pump..
you can also take a painkiller like combiflam
