Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of your 2 months old son getting a lump above the breast with tiny red spots.
This obviously looks to be an inflammatory swelling and hence may need antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Consult your Pediatrician for clinical evaluation and to get the correct weight adjusted medicines.
Breast feeding may not be related to this incidence.
