Continual engorgement on one side only... help?!

Since getting mastitis twice on my left side, my right breast has been getting engorged fairly frequently. During the mastitis, however, I did NOT favor either side and kept alternating after draining the first breast. DD is 6 weeks now. Mastitis is gone but I'm finding I need to pump before every feed on right side to relieve pressure so she can latch. I'm trying not to overfeed on right side or overpump to increase additional, unnecessary supply, but it's not seeming to work. Any other tips available? :)

    This one is well over twice the production and gets engorged at almost every feed if she doesn't nurse on both sides. It's gotten worse and it's not normal.
