I have a small infection under my breast and am on antibiotics. Is there anything besides ibuprofen/acetaminophen and ice that you have found helps reduce the pain?

    Hi apmezzo, I hope your pain is resolving with the antibiotic. Ibuprofen works best for the swelling if you take it for a few days routinely. Can you go without a bra to reduce pressure?
