Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Armpits After Pregnancy

Hello! I am 2 and a half weeks postpartum after a healthy pregnancy... I am having swelling in my armpits on each side 3-4 different pea to nut sized balls have formed what seems like overnight. I have been having night sweats since the birth of my little girl and had a migraine yesterday... was finally able to go to sleep - more sweating. The balls hurt very badly and do have small pockets of pus right now? Any idea what this may be? Would Bactrim be the antibiotic to help clear this up?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some inflammatory lesion or abscess formation. You should go for examination. Then if needed take antibiotics according to your gynecologist advice. Don't take any medicine without advice because it can excrete in breast milk and harm your baby.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
