welcome to Health care magic.
1.It looks like lymph nodal enlargement.
2.They are seen with any infections / inflammation in the breast and any malignancies.
3.Your GP would like to see if it resolves by itself in 2 weeks.
4.Follow your GP, and get scan done if the symptoms still persists.
5.Since there are no other pathology you have mentioned, you can wait.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
