I had mastitis last week. I had both breast and nipple pain. I took antibiotics and pain killers for 5 days. Now I don't have breast pain but my nipples are paining when I breastfeed. Especially my left breast is heavier than the right one and pain is also more in left nipple. What could be the reason and how should I treat it?
