MY daughter, 22 years old, had a soft marble size place come up on her arm below her elbow causing pain from fingers to shoulder. scan done and was told it was a lymph node. showing no blood in it. told to use ibuprofen over weekend and come back tomorrow for blood work. it has not gotten hard and continues to cause her pain. very concerned about this
Hello, A short course of antibiotics can be started after consulting a general practitioner. If the swelling persists for more than two weeks, additional investigations like ultrasound and fine needle biopsy may be needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
