Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to mastitis. I would recommend taking acetaminophen for the pain. I also recommend taking prescribed antibiotics by your gynaecologist.
Heat compresses can also be helpful in relieving the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
