Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Armpits are very prone to infections , its likely that you are having infection , continue ibuprofen and take augmentin 1gm (1+0+1) for 3 days and if will not get cleared than you should visit your physician because in some cases pus can collect there.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to ask. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
