Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here you are having acute pain in breast area since four to five days

It could be mastitis like breast infection or inflammatory condition or there might be pain from muscular strain...

Local breast examination along with palpation needed to detect if any mass present...

For inflammation relief anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen prescribed for five days

Warm compress useful

Avoid strenuous work and take rest

According to cause specific treatment given

If no obvious redness like inflammation present and if doesn't suits in muscular pain that better to investigate with EKG for that

Take care

Consult physician or surgeon for examination
