I got silicone 360cc half under the muscle half above breast implants January 2023. I got in mild infection in my right breast incision that went away from antibiotics fast. Now a year and a half later my right breast feels tight but loose, weird when laying on my back, weird when moved side to side on back. I have chest pain, pressure, and a cough. My doctor believes it’s capsular. I don’t want to take singulair due to mental health warning. Is there another medicine I can take?
