i am male 24 / have a lump under my armpit i noticed yesterday evening as very sore, today sore throat and slowly getting a headache. The lump is small, not red/coloured but it hurts a wee bit when i left my arm up (in the armpit). What could this be?
Hi, This could be an inflamed lymph node related to your sore throat. Alternatively, it could be a small abscess. I suggest that if it does not resolve in 24 hours, you see your doctor for examination. You may need antibiotics. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger
