Barbara, this sounds like an abscess. You can throw all the antibiotics at
her you want but if it is an abscess, until it is drained, none of them will
work.
You did not mention this mom having an ultrasound. That would be my next
suggestion. This would be the best way to diagnosis an abscess.
An abscess can develop quickly in some women and not necessarily because
they were mismanaged with their mastitis.
Hope she gets results soon.
