Specializes in Pediatrics

See your doc: Could be an infection of the mammary glands or ducts, called mastitis. You should see your primary or OB/GYN because you may need antibiotics. Also may be yeast type infection. Best get checked out soon to avoid more suffering and take good care of your infant!
