Nipple Swollen

So on Dec 30th I started getting a weird pain in my right nipple. Everyday since then it started swelling more and more and was very painful. There is a HUGE difference in the size of my nipples now and I have no idea what to do. I’ve been waiting to see my doctor but due to the holidays I wasn’t able to see her. I stopped breast feeding about 3 months ago so it couldn’t be a clogged milk duct. Also I recently started taking birth control and I’ve never had this kind of reaction to it. Has this ever happened to anyone !?
