Swelling In Right Breast, Sharp Stabbing Breast Pain, Underarm Pain, Headaches. Causes For Symptoms?
My right breast has doubled in size in only 3 days, I have sharp stabbing pains through the breast and a constant paid on the right side near the underarm . The breast is also itchy and I am now having severe headaches. I went for a mammogram yesterday that did not show anything. Could this be just an infection? The breast is not red nor warm to the touch.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A sudden increase in the size of the breast with pain and a normal mammogram is likely to be due to an infection in the area. Taking oral anti inflammatory medicines and a hot fomentation will help in relieving the symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
