What Is The Treatment For Viral Fever And A Lump In The Breast?

Hi Dr., my baby girl is 7 months old about 4 weeks ago she was very sick with a viral infection for about 1 week. A week after the last fever she had a small fever again and at this time i also noticed she developed a peanut size lump between her breast and armpit (closer to armpit). We called her doc and they didn't seem worried about it said if it got bigger to call back but otherwise they'd look at it at 9 month apt. I'm nervous about what it is because it's been about 3-4 now and it's not getting any smaller. Any ideas as to what it could be? Thanks.

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment -
In my opinion your 7 mth baby girl is repeatedly seek and needs care to uplift her general condtion by proper diet and medicinces from your PCP doctor.
The armpit lump is neglected from your doctor as its mostly due to lymphadenitis with viral infections she recently had and would go in next 2 mths time or so.
If it still remains and does not grow, it may little more to resolve as she is having weak body defences.So keep a watch if it grows in number and size.
Else forget and wait and watch.Show to ER surgeon if it grows and worries more.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
