It can be an abscess in the armpit. You will have to take antibiotics to dry it up. You can try augmentin- duo 625 three times daily after meals. Take tablet zinase-D twice daily to reduce the pain. If needed the lump may need to be drained out surgically if medications fail after 5 days. Dont use heat or ice as they won't help
