Willow, sounds like a blocked duct, rather than mastitis. The important part is to clear it, to stop it from developing into mastitis. The GP will probably be fairly useless, but you never know, they might not be Try the heat before massaging, and then cold after. In the shower is good too.
It depends on how keen you are (or aren't) to take ABs. It's probably not indicated in your case, as the best treatment is clearing the duct. Even if you take ABs, you still need to clear that blockage. Hope it gets moving today for you!! As if you don't have enough going on.
