Pain in and behind nipple 2 months post op.

Newboobies2018
I had a breast augmentation in February with silicone implants and everything has gone very smoothly so far. However now one of my nipples for the past few days is very tender to touch, constantly erect and I feel an ache/pain behind it and sometimes an ache in the side of the breast. It kind of reminds me of when I had mastitis a few years ago while breastfeeding. Could this be mastitis ? Worried about infection. Thanks for your time.
