Swollen Lymph nodes after strep throat.

2017-08-29 16:34:43
I was prescribed amoxicillin for infection on my tonsils on 12 aug. It started getting better by 15 aug. Then I caught common cold and had running nose from 20 - 23 aug. I noticed a little lump in my left armpit on 26 aug. Now the left armpit lump has settled but i have a swollen lymph node on my right armpit. And today it got a little red outside.

Hi I think this is an inflamed lymphnode with secondary infection... Get a course of antibiotics if not subsided in 7 days do a fnac of the node... Get a legit prescription from an ENT SPECIALIST doctor. Regards
