Detailed Answer:
Hi
Small swelling beneath the nipple in a 4 year old girl could be a Sebaceous cyst or an abscess.
I prefer to give Antibiotic and anti inflammatory tablets for similar complaints. If there is no response, ultrasound of the affected area should be done.
Antibiotic is a prescription based medicine. Antiinflammatory tablets are available over the counter. Children's tylenol is one such antiinflammatory drug which you can start using now. If symptoms don't improve, visit a doctor for an ultrasound scan and antibiotic prescription.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
