What Causes A Sore Lump In The Armpit?
I have a small sore lump in my armpit. I think it feels like my lymph node. Can that swell just from being run down? I have not been getting good sleep or eating properly. I know I am run down. I also have a very sore throat. I am 42 years old, female, mother of 3. Last mammo was just about a year ago. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Yes, I agree that the most likely causes for the swelling would be related to being run down and possibly a sore throat. If this is the case, the lump should reduce over the next few weeks. If it remains by 6 weeks, you should see your doctor for investigation.
I hope this is of help.
