I Have Had A Swollen Lymph Node On My Right Under Arm
My name is Candace and I have a question, for a month on my right under arm I ve had a swollen lymph node the size of a golf ball, I ve had these before before and after my cycle every 3-4 months, and they have went away but this one has stayed for a month. Two days ago I started ovulating and my lymph node got redder, it had went down a couple of inches weeks before, and was softer but now it s hard, red, and it hurts, I feel perfectly fine but I want it to go away, what can I do?

Dear Candace,
Kindly follow these signs & symptoms such as any associated fever with such swelling, any history of loss of apetite, loss of body weight, night sweats, unexplained cough for a prolong time, etc. Now, if you think you do have two or more such symptoms then you are advised to see a Surgeon/Physician immediately for a clinical review. Your Doctor might ask you to go for a histological/biopsy test for your prolong swelling. This can rule out almost all possible pathological or neplastic cases. Thanks.
