Swollen lymph nodes
I have swollen, tender lymph nodes under each armpit. The skin is red.
The swelling happened inside a day.
2 days prior I started mild cold Simpson’s (runny nose, sneezing, cough. Runny nose turned into congestion)
Are the swollen nodes anything to worry about? With this type of cold I thought nodes in the neck became swollen?
