1. About 3 weeks
2. A cough has started in the last 24 hours, no infection that I know of.
3. No trauma
4. Yes, diabetes and cancer run in the family. I do not have either.
5. Night sweats started within the last 24 hours.
6. No medication at this time.
7. I feel full regardless of what I eat. For instance I had a protein shake this AM and have felt just as full as if I ate a burger. Within last 24 hours I have had no appetite and haven't felt like eating since this AM. I'm also tired, really tired, even though I had a coffee with an extra shot of expresso and a bottle of green tea this AM. Normally this would give me a lot of energy, but I feel like I could sleep for the rest of the day and night.

Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation to rule out chronic granulomatous disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. Your symptoms needs further evaluation to rule out chronic inflammatory diseases. There is strong possibility that the infection resulted in enlarged axillary lymph nodes. I would suggest you to once visit hospital & get an appointment for a "Consultant Surgeon". He will examine you and may order some labs including ultrasound of swelling, FNAC of the node, CBC with ESR & X-ray Chest. Further management would depend upon the results of the labs. Meanwhile GUAIFENESIN/DEXTROMETHORPHAN suspension thrice a day will help dealing with cough.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
