Hi thanks for asking question.

You are having mostly acute mastitis.

Pain is throbbing so could have abscess formation.

Try using antibiotic for 3 to 5 days.Analgesic taken for pain relief.

Meanwhile if it is not resolving then abscess drained by incision and drainage.

Antibiotic needed for minimum 7 to 10 days.

If mass palpable and not resolving FNAC is simple procedure that can be done to differentiate acute suppurative condition from tumour.
Then if suspicion is there in FNAC biopsy can be taken.

I hope your concern has been solved.

Wish you good health.
