Hi, I am a 26 female. 2 months ago I had a swollen lymph node in my left armpit which was very painful. When consulted a doctor. He gave me a 5 day course of antibiotics and some pain meds which reduced the lymph node back to normal after a week or so I again developed swelling in the same lymph node, the doc asked me to repeat the treatment. Mid way through the treatment I scratched the underarm area in sleep due to excessive itching due to which it got red and scratched severely. In a day or 2 I developed bacterial infection surrounding that scratched area. Finally we went to a dermatologist who asked to stop medicines and gave medicines for the bacterial infection and creams to apply. After continuing that treatment for 10 days my arm pit was in a much better state. But suddenly 2 days back I have started feeling the bump in my arm pit from the lymph node again and its very painful. Yesterday my whole body started paining and so we had to go to hospital, where the emergency doc said this is Viral and gave another course of Antibiotics etc for next 5 days. I have no fever just body ache at some intervals. I am not sure what should I be doing, I have already been on so many meds since 1 and half months. The skin doctor also did some fasting tests for blood sugar Etc all of which came in range, only the ESR is at 42. I am not diabetic. Please help.
