Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Lump formation and pain in the breast can be due to milk accumulation or breast abscess.
She should consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined and treated accordingly.
In the meantime, she can take paracetamol for pain relief.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
