not stand the pain. But it is better now if I increase his feedings will it increase my production like it was before the clogged duct? Also I am drinking that mothers milk tea has anyone tryed it and it worked?

The best way to clear the clogged duct is making your baby suck on it. When he does, you can press & massage the clogged area, really helps. You are lucky the clog went away... you'd have serious problems if it didn't.
Any, again, the only way to increase production on that breast is to make your baby suck on it regularly. The sucking tells your body to produce more milk (or if you have a pump, pump that breast regurlarly, even if there is no milk). You will not increase your milk production if there is no sucking on that breast.

It should get back to normal eventually as long as you keep using the breast. We're supposed to alternate which breast we use first at each feeding to help keep them even. Maybe until you get closer to even again you should start with the smaller breast at most feedings.

It's all about supply and demand. If you start nursing him more on that side, your production should go back up. Hopefully you pumped on that side while he was not nursing?
