Frequent symptoms: Painful lump, redness, warmth in the area, tenderness, and, at times, fever or general malaise.

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care if a reddened and painful area appears in the breast, especially during breastfeeding or if it is accompanied by fever. Since it is not advisable to try to drain it on your own, it is best to have a professional check it promptly.
