How long has this been happening? A clogged milk duct should clear up in a few days, it might have turned to mastitis which is an infection. I have had clogged ducts that hurt just like what you described though. Massage that side in hot showers, use heating pads on it, and only nurse of THAT side. You need baby to suck it out.

I would call.
It could be a clogged duct, but it sounds like the beginning of Mastitis. Watch for your boob to turn red, hot to the touch, and developing a fever. If you have any of those side effects, it's Mastitis and you'll need antibiotics.

It could also be Thrush. Is the thing on your nipple like, a bump? You can easily find out by taking your LO to the pedi- if they check and he has Thrush, then you'll have it as well.

If it doesn't go away in a day or two doing all those things I'd try to get in to your doctor.

Thrush would burn the outside, Mastitis or clogged duct would hurt on the inside.
Yes, call your OB.
