Hi, It seems that you might be having some infection in surrounding parts like arms, neck, breasts, chest producing enlarged tender axillary lymph nodes. There is no problem going for one short course of antibiotic medicine. If problem persisted after treatment then you might require, Through breasts examination manually by GAEC, Complete blood checking for any bacterial infection.If you require Mammography. Ok and take care.
