What Causes Swollen And Painful Lymph Nodes In The Armpit?
Hi, I m a 61 y. o. woman. I m am generally healthy. In the last 2 days I have developed a swollen gland in my arm pit that is very sore. It s not visibly red and I have not had a cold, other infection or other problem (other than chronic small bleeding hemorrhoids). Could it still be a response to an infection I m not exhibiting other symptoms for? Should I be worried? How long should I wait before I call my doctor? Gin
The main reason for the enlarge lymph nodes are the infection. Sometimes any injury nearhy area may cause the enlarge lymph nodes. But sometimes the infection does not show any symptoms but only enlarge lymph nodes. If it does not go away in 8 to 10 days kindly visit the Doctor.
