Is It Normal To Have A Swollen Lymph Node On Armpit For A 4.5 Months Old?
Hello, my baby boy is 4,5 months old, 3 months after the BCG vaccination on his left arm, we have just found last night a swollen lymph node on armpit. We visited GP intermediately, but he said is something very normal as a side effect after the BCG and will go by itself without need of taking ant drugs. I am very worried I do not think is normal, is that true?

Hello. I just read through your question.
As long as the node is not painful, you have nothing to worry about. When painless, it is normal.
