Suggest Treatment For Sore And Swollen Lymph Nodes

2 days ago i noticed pain under my right arm, when i investigate i found 2 or 3 of my lymph nodes to be swollen and sore. I also felt i had a slight fever. Later that night i noticed similar pain under my left arm and found those lymph nodes now swollen and sore. I took acetaminophen for the pain and fever and went to bed. The next day i now found my left nipple had sore swollen area. I called my Dr and he examined me, he says its some kind of infection and we should monitor it for worsening or improvement. He prescribed no medication. Now today my right nipple is sore. Any ideas what this could be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some axillary lymphnode enlargement due to infection in draining area. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
