Is It Normal To Have Swelling On Armpit, Neck And Groin Areas After Tooth Infection?

I just went through a terrible root canal experience with an full blown infection. When the infection started I noticed my armpits neck and groin areas to be sore. I also have some unusual swelling on the outside of the vagina area just swelling no itching or redness. It is just sore and seems to be swollen as well. Is this normal with the amount of stress my body has been under for the last week? How long does it take for this to settle down? I am on Amoxicillin.

Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I suggest you for blood culture and sensitivity. I suspect a Spread of bacteria from the dental infection to lymph node of various parts. Once the sensitivity is available to you, start a antibiotics accordingly. Alternatively start with one higher grade antibiotics which you are right now taking.
