Bacterial infection & armpit lymph nodes

2017-12-23 22:50:24
Had boil in groin near scrotum/buttock. Was prescribed 1 week antibiotics. Boil popped/drained. About 10 days later, lymph nodes under armpits began to swell and became painful. Doc said don’t worry, could be staph or strep, and prescribed me 30 days worth of doxycycline. Nodes went down and pain gone aftter 1 week of antibiotics and putting apple cider vinegar under armpits for 2 days. Still taking meds, but after being on for 2 weeks, I’m starting to feel/see 1 small lymph node in left pit.
