Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve had a swollen vein that pops out in my armpit for about a month now. It s sore to the touch, and is irritated when I stretch my arm. I ve tried taking Advil after getting my family physician to check it, but it hasn t gone away and there s a lump in it which hurts to touch. Any help with the possible cause would be appreciated!
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having Thrombophlebitis giving this problem. Apply Thrombophob cream locally. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days. Take some anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen for 2-3 days as well. Ok and take care.
