Breastfeeding

Lopsided from Mastitis?

I'm new to this board, so if this is a repeat question, please forgive me!

I had mastitis last week in my left breast. I had originally been having challenges BFing on the left side b/c of scabbing and a slow flow. Well, now mastitis has cleared up and my scabs are healing. We've been feeding on that side more often, through the mastitis and now since, BUT it seems my milk supply has lessened! My right breast has always been the champ, but now it's considerably bigger and fuller. After a few hours, my right breast will be full (engorged) but lefty won't be. How do I catch lefty up to righty?
So far I've been: Feeding on lefty first... until LO gets super ticked that she's not getting anything else out. (I still keep her on 15 mins at least).
Pumping after feeding (on lefty).
What else can I do? I have a call into an LC and am just waiting for a return call.

Thank you!
