I have pain and swelling in my left breast since yesterday. What could be the cause of this, and what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 30 · 2 days ago

Pain and swelling in one breast are common symptoms and usually treatable. Likely causes include hormonal changes, a benign cyst, or a localized infection like mastitis. To help ease the pain and reduce swelling, you can take over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen or paracetamol, and apply a warm or cool compress to the area. Please avoid squeezing the breast. Because an infection may require a prescription for antibiotics, I highly recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a proper physical exam. Seek prompt care if you develop a fever, spreading redness, or warmth.
