Help please! could breastfeeding cause inflamed lymph nodes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast Feeding: No, if there is breast infection abscess, it can cause inflamed lymph nodes under the armpit. Nipple can become sore sometimes and get secondarily infected, sometimes the child bites (after having teeth) which can get infected causing lymph node swelling.
