Hi,
Noted your history about being on an antibiotic for mastitis after coming back from holiday for 2 weeks but for the last 5 days have headache, body ache and swelling on head that comes and goes.
First of all you should get an urgent Ultrasonography of breasts to know what exactly is going on in breast, whether pus id formed or there is something else like fat necrosis.
Headache, body ache can have another reasons like viral infection or so on which your Doctor can tell better after clinical evaluation, examination and relevant investigations.
The swelling on head that comes and goes can be angioneurotic edema or so as the swelling due to infection or so can not regress but on the contrary can cause more problems.
All things put together will have a proper diagnosis and have proper management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
