Hi,

The symptoms you are having are suggesting infection of right nipple (breast gland). I advise to consult your doctor as you might need to take a course of antibiotics.

Meanwhile, I also advise to:
- keep a good nipple and breast hygiene
- never do piercing especially in such delicate areas
- take ibuprofen/acetaminophen to relieve pain and inflammation

Hope it helped!
