Hi,
It seems that the enlarged lymph nodes in your armpit might be due to some bacterial infection surrounding area like arm, neck, chest.
Any infective focus in these area might have given enlarged lymph nodes.
You might require antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
