What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Armpits?

Cat scan explore the lymph nodes better
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I can understand your concern and I am going to give some information, which will help you,
Firstly I want to specify that bronchitis and swollen lymph nodes are not related with each other.
Bronchitis doesn't cause lymph nodes and vice-versa.
For diagnosing bronchitis, better to do the following:
-Hemogram
-ESR
-CRP
-Spirometry
If they are positive the most chance is to be acute but after passing the acute phase you should repeat Spirometry test.
If it is still positive probably you have chronic bronchitis.
CAT scan will explore the swollen lymph nodes, are they spread or localized, the density of them.
But the gold standard is biopsy sample of lymph nodes. As per it's result, treatment depends.
I wish you a fast recovery,
Feel free to ask me again.
