Brief Answer:
Mammogram advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Pain and burning sensation in the breasts can be due to some hormonal disturbances or can be dueto local lesion like ductal ectasia.
I suggest her to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined and get a mammogram done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
