Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Are you a male or female. Do you have any pain or lump in he breast. Any weight loss. Any cough or chest pain. The swelling could be an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes enlarge when there is any change in a nearby tissue like an infection for example. You need to not do anything with it, don't squeeze. Consult your Doctor and get adequately checked up.
