hi.
looks like you had a recent history of an upper respiratory tract infection. and yes, there's a possibility that the "lumps" in your armpits are lymphadenopathies secondary to the occurrence of infection. it would eventually resolved once the primary cause has resolved. if there's persistence, a consult with your physician will be better.
hope this helps.
good day!!
