A member asked:

I have been showing signs of pneumonia lately and also felt a small bum under my armpit but cannot see anything. what i want to know is can the axilla?

Likely not pneumonia: Signs of pneumonia include, fever, chills, cough, chest pain and shortness of breath. The knot in the arm pit is probably a lymph node. If it is tender, this indicates inflammation.

Pneumonia?: If you have signs of pneumonia please seek medical help and see a doctor right away. Small lymph node in the armpit may not be a problem
