Enlarged lymph glands

[Lemmonie]

So i have enlarged/sore lympth glands in armpit(s) started in one two weeks ago and now the other one is enlarged. No illness/infection now or recently. been two weeks altogether.
Not painful but uncomfortable. They seem to go down (but still felt) then get more sore.

Internet suggests scary things i dont believe are true! Whilst waiting for a docs appt please tell me you agree I should not look stuff up on google!

Subclinical infection can also cause enlarged lymph nodes. So no other symptoms.

Seeing your doc is the best thing to do.

I dont even know what that means but thank you! Just to know there is something else that causes it is enough for me!

An infection which your body is fighting, but not severe enough that you notice anything going on.

Have you had any contact with cats recently as it could be cat scratch disease? If so this is nothing to worry about and normally resolves itself without any specific treatment. However you need to see your doc to get a proper diagnosis.

From what I know when I had something similar a few years ago, it's enlarged, painless, rock-hard lymph glands that you need to worry about.

So what you describe sounds like an infection.

But best to get it checked out to make sure.

Could be an infection? go to Doctors
have you had any other symptoms- temperature? sweating? off your food? Chesty cough?

get it checked out for peace of mind if nothing else!
