Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is a cellulitis and needs investigations like ultrasonography to see if there is an abscess called Galactocele or just a cellulitis.
Once the diagnosis is done, you may need incision and drainage, expression of the milk from that particular breast.
Continue the antibiotics as before.
