What Causes Lymph Nodes To Swell Up Under The Arm?
I am a 26 year old female and had one painful swollen gland under my armpit and the dr gave me antibiotics. Now I just noticed two more swollen glands under there. The only new thing I’ve done recently is using the Nuvaring 2 months ago. Could swollen glands be a side effect ?

Hello,
Nuvaring is a hormonal contraceptives. It does not commonly cause swollen lymph nodes.
Swollen lymph nodes are usually related to an infection. So, I suggest to do a blood test to check for an infection.
Meanwhile, I suggest finishing the course of the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
