How To Get Rid Of Lump Under My Armpit?
Hi, im 16 and I had a small pea sized lump under my armpit, it has now gone, but now I have found another small lump on the neck in the throat area.. It is under the skin and painful to touch. I have also knowticed that I have had swolen glands over the past few days although I have no flu like symptoms.. I haven t been to see a doctor as I feel physically fine.. just wondering what is causing these lumps and whether it is potentially dangerous ? Thanks very much

Hi,Welcome to HCM.I studied your query.I understood Your concerns.Dear You seem to have 2 separate health issues in armpit and in throat/neck.Both are of infective origin. A swollen gland on this backdrop,Makes ME to suggest you to check up with ENT doctor.
I would treat such a case In My clinic-By giving a antibiotic treatment to evaluate its regression.If not regressed,I Would rule out Chronic JD(jugulo-diagastric) Lymphadenitis due to recurrent old throat infections.
Other possibilities of NHL/HL Lymphoma need to be ruled out,with FNAC biopsy and by CT studies.
I would hence advise you to

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged axillary and cervical lymphnode. Most likely it is due to reactive hyperplasia as a result of some infection in draining area. You should take a course of antibiotics like amoxiclav or levofloxacin. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Mist of the time it is due to reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and subside. So no need to worry about that.
Just be relaxed.
