Brief Answer:
Visit a gynaecologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic
This is not a good sign and in my opinion you should see a gynaecologist at the earliest
You need an anti inflammatory and antibiotics at the earliest to see if there is an abscess or not.
You can do cold fomentation and also express the excess of milk as much as possible.
