Could The Pain In The Breast Be Due To The Infection Of Face And Lymph Node?

My daughter went to the dr yesterday as her face was swollen and it went into her lymph node on her jaw/neck. It was an infection on her face from a pimple that caused it. They gave her. Few antibiotics and it s a little better but now on the same side of her body she said its sore and hurts on the side of her boob. Could that possibly be from this infection that might have traveled?

Hello! The answer to your question is both no and yes. Usually breast has a different drainage area. The infection can travel any where in the body. If the infection is getting better on face usually it wont cause infection in the breast. please consult your family doctor or GP for the same if it doesn't get better in a day.
