Suggest Treatment For Painful Lumps In Armpits

I went to urgent care a week ago for painful lumps in armpits , everyday a new one developed. They gave me a antibiotic which seemed to help now its almost done but lumps are returning. They are not fluid like but more like hard nodules. What do you suggest?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having axillary lymphadenitis producing multiple hard nodules.
There might behaving some infection in surrounding area like arm, neck or shoulder.
If there is infection, go for its treatment.
If there is no pain and increasing of size, nothing to worry, gradually there will be regression of nodes.
Ok and take care.
