What Causes Swollen Glands In The Armpit In Children?

Hi... my son is 3 years old and has been suffering with swelling in the armpit since 4 to 5 days. He has cough n fever too. The doctor prescribed clauvum antibiotic and flexion syrup. His blood sample has been given for crp, cbp and esr tests and reports are expected by Monday morning. I am really worried about my child. What could be the cause for the swelling.
