Next Steps
Breast abscess will be very small to look from outside but there can be large collection inside.
Antibiotics will be sufficient to decrease infection but if pain persists or fever or size increases then incision and drainage has to be done

Looks like mastitis
If you try to express some discharge or do massage it can get infected
It should come down with antibiotics. Follow up with your pediatrician
Use paracetamol for pain
