Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged axillary lymphnode or some other infection. It may be due to vaccine or accidental infection. You should take a course of antibiotics.
If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
