I started feeling pain on the under part of my right breast

[Guest]

Good day doctors, I am 18 days postpartum. I delivered vaginally and I'm exclusively breastfeeding my baby.

Now, the issue is that I started feeling pain on the under part of my right breast, so I put my baby to suck, thinking it will relief me, but the pain didn't go away.

I started feeling chill and headache at the same time, so I used amatem and paracetamol and the fever stopped, but I'm still feeling the pain on my breast.

Is this normal? what could be the cause? And what can I do about it?

Thanks for the prompt response

You should see a doctor for proper evaluation and management.

No self-medication.

You may have infection within the breasts.
