It's a common problem when stopping breastfeeding, especially all of a sudden. If there is fever, there is every chance of an infection. I would suggest not to express out milk, wear tight enough breast support and start an antibiotic like augmentin. If not better with these measurements in 48hours, you need an ultrasound of breast and surgeon consultation and may be blood tests.
Next Steps
wear proper breast support
