Enlarge Lymph node under right arm pit.
by Aesir, Nov 28, 2008 07:41PM
40 year old male who recently had a tonsillectomy for moderate sleep apnea (things seem to be working out) on November 06, 2008. Prior to having the proceedure I was on z pack of Antibiotics for a persistant cough (productive/no productive). The cough disappeared but reappeared a week after the proceedure.
While recovering from the treatment, I developed Thrush (possibly from the antibiotics) and that was treated in about a weeks time.
Two days ago, I noticed I would itch from time to time on my upper right arm close to my arm pit area. Each day the itching grew worse. Last night I felt a kinda pull/strain on the right right side of my chest muscle. The discomfort was fer benign, so I really didn't pay it any mind.
Today while at work the itching was so bad that I finally took a look. I've got several red swollen streaks radiating from my arm pit area. And when I raised my arm, there was discomfort in my arm pit area. I felt the area and noticed a mass/node swollen about 1 - 2 inches across. The area is visibly swollen upon sight.
Could all this I've recently gone thru be related? Or should I have more serious concerns?
