Swollen breast

2018-06-26 17:45:47
About 3 weeks ago I noticed i had one swollen breast and I went to the doctors she put me on antibiotics 2 a day for a week but I took them wrong and only took 1 a day for 2 weeks but still no difference in my breast, I went back and she put me on stronger antibiotics 500mg 2 a day so I’m on my 5th day taking them and still no sign of it going down. And now I’m getting like a heavy dropping feeling in my breast and an ache in it too. I want to know what else it could be.
