Should breast milk be emptied as much as possible?

Patient's question:

My three-month-old daughter got sick and was hospitalized. Her appetite isn't very good. After treatment every day, she just sleeps, and the frequency and duration of her nursing are both particularly low. This has caused me to have engorged breasts these past couple of days. I want to ask if engorgement always needs to be fully emptied?

Doctor's answer:

The milk that the child cannot consume should be emptied. The milk that the child cannot consume should be emptied. If it is not opened multiple times, it can easily lead to a decrease in milk or cause mastitis. If it is not opened multiple times, it can easily lead to a decrease in milk or cause mastitis. It is also important to maintain a good mood and not to have too much pressure. Excessive tension can also lead to a decrease in milk. During this time, it is also necessary to drink more water and eat less raw, cold, spicy, and irritating food.
