If it's severe, the likelihood is you have an infection as well as inflammation. This usually requires antibiotics in addition to anti-inflammatory pain relief. Have a look at the NHS Direct website below for some advice on treatment and prevention.

If you are not breastfeeding, as I was aged 42, go to the doctor for a course of anti-biotics.
A hot towel on the breast with massage afterwards.
A large cabbage leaf in the bra and change it when it heats up.

you need an antibiotic if it is mastitis. If it becomes an abscess then you may need an I & D (incision and debridement). Go see your doctor.
