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.
Hello dear, welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is due to lymph node enlargement , there are different reasons for this condition as - reactionary to respiratory infection - tuberculosis - others.* Have to be taken care with proper antibiotics , anti-inflammatory agents and keep a watch on the progress of the size, if regressing fine ; if persistent can require FNAC from the lymph node. Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.
