Hello ma'am and welcome.

If at all you are nearing or older than 40 years of age, I would first like to recommend frequent breast examinations, preferably a mammogram. For now, with the provided information I would recommend a visit to a doctor for a physical examination, check on lymph nodes, temperature, hormone levels, etc.

Infections can cause a hormonal imbalance which can in turn cause breast pain. So either the infection is the cause for your presentation or some other underlying pathology. Please do schedule an appointment with your doctor ma'am.

Best wishes.
