Firstly, the feel of the lymph node and if there are lymph nodes at other stations - such as groin/neck.
Continue antibiotics trial for 14 days. If no resolution, then consider USG guided FNAC.

You should visit a general surgeon and get axilla as well as the breast examined. You should also look for other swellings elsewhere. After a trial of antibiotics if the swelling is not decreasing in size, you should go for an FNAC, preferably Ultrasound guided.
