Swelling in the armpit is not related to URTI...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
After going through the history posted by you, I'm of the opinion that, at present, you are having Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI). The lymph node swelling in the armpit is not related to the present URTI.
The lymph node swelling in the armpit is due to infection or inflammation in the surrounding area.
You would require broad spectrum antibiotics to take care of both URTI and the inflamed lymph node in the armpit. Apart from this, I would suggest you to drink plenty of warm water, do steam inhalation, use saline nasal spray, oral decongestants and take pain relievers.
With this measures, you will definitely feel better.
Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
