What Could A Lump Under The Armpit Be?

My daughter age 19 has a lump under her armpit. She was put on anitbiotice for a week and nothing happened to the lump. Now they are saying she needs an ultrasound. Where do I go to get this done? What could this be? She said in the last month it has started to get sore.
