Yes, : Yes, I do think you should have this medically evaluated. You may have a worsening infection. I would advise being re-evaluated by your dotor. If you have pain, vomiting, redness, fever or red streaks then you must be seen as an emergency.

Axilla isn't sinus: Axillary nodes would be really unexpected in a sinus infection. I would get these nodes checked out sooner than later, especially if they are cropping up in a scenario when you are already taking antibiotics.
