Suggest Treatment For Pain And Mass In Breast Due To Mastitis

I went to the ER, & was told I have Mastitis. I m not breastfeeding, so they say this is rare. They told me the infection was all throughout the tissues of my breast when they did the Ultrasound. They prescribed me Keflex, I ve been taking it since last night. Today, the mass feels larger, & it hurts incredibly. Is this normal?
