But I was wondering if you can get an infection in your breasts if youre not breast feeding. Can you get an infection even if you've never even had a child? I have severe pain in my breasts right now, they're also swollen and warm (like fever) and it feels like the inside of my nipples are burning. I can barely lift my arms or keep a bra or shirt on. I'm literally icing my boobs in desperation for relief. (I would also like to add that I'm making myself a doctors appointment in the morning)
