If you are running a temp, see a clinician immediately as it may be an infection of a breast duct, mastitis. Antibiotics and pain meds, local heat will usually resolve that problem. Infection is usually associated with pain, swelling, redness, and fever. If those symptoms are not present, the next most likely diagnosis is a benign breast cyst. It should resolve with the onset of your regular menstrual cycle. Tylenol, or Motrin or Motrin like meds may help,as will a supportive bra or halter.
It sounds painful, but very treatable.
