Hi....your Dr was right...they are lymph nodes in deed. But pain is something unusual & by your history they are now spreading into armpit from neck. Kindly see your pediatrician if the following symptoms are present.... Significant weight loss/ loss of appetite/ chronic or recurrent fever/ pallor or anemia/ pain in limbs/ breathing difficulty or recent onset hoarseness of voice or stridor. Happy to help anytime.
