Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Its difficult to precisely say without examining, as per your history your symptoms could be due to many reasons like mastitis, trauma or infflamatory tumor.
If the symptoms are very worrisome you can consult ER. or else you can wait till monday.
Meanwhile you can try a course of antibiotics to see if it responds
Regards
