Lymph nodes in the breast are less common then say the nodes in the neck- the cause for the swelling is most likely a low grade viral or bacterial infection that the body hasn't been able to fight off completely. This happens tonne on and off when my body is under stress or a slight illness. I treat myself with natural remedies ad herbs. I take cleaver tincture (moves lymph fluid), dandelion tincture (eliminates toxins in the lymph fluid), and a herb that is antibacterial and antiviral- a few options are yarrow, bee balm, usnea, or elderflower. All great to take in tincture form as well. I buy 4oz bottles of each and take 1tsp of each three times a day for the course of about 2 weeks. Always clears mine up. I have a really sensitive immune system so this happens about twice a year to me. Even spring allergies set mine off.

Another thing to remember is that the lymph system doesn't have it's own pump of flushing mechanism- so movement is key in order to move the lymph fluid in order to prevent it becoming stagnant and causes infection and inflammation.

Hope this helps some of you!
