OK take a deep breath...it is hard and especially when you go through a lot. With my last litter I think I acquired about 8 hours of sleep in 8 days and it can make you very emotional and makes the stress so much worse.
If it is just slightly harded the infection may not have started yet. I would watch it and if it gets firm continue to apply the warm compresses and express just enouhg milk to relieve the pressure. If you express too much it will just refill, but just removing enough to make it more comfortable will help it to dry up. If you think it is infected then I would take a small circular band-aid and place it over the nipple so the baby can not nurse from it. Monitor her temp and if it gets high them take her to emergency.
Just amoxicillian will treat mastitis so the Clavamox should more than treat it and may keep it from becoming a problem. I hope you have an unevenful night.
