A. Hello, Mastitis, which mainly affects breast-feeding women, causes redness, swelling and pain in one or both breasts. Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue that sometimes involves an infection. The inflammation results in breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness. You might also have fever and chills. Soften your breasts before feedings. ... Try to breastfeed more often. ... Take ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) to reduce pain and swelling. ... If your breasts still feel uncomfortable after nursing, try a cold compress to reduce swelling.
