Mastitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection in the mammary glands. Unfortunately if it is not treated appropriately the gland can be permanently damaged. Antibiotics are the main stay of treatment used alongside suppprtive treatment such as antinflammatories and cold compresses. In mild cases there is a small chance of resolution without antibiotics.
