I got a flu shot a week ago. my lymph nodes under my arm are swollen and won't go down. i have been feeling dizzy and faint. is this serious?

Reactive nodes: Swollen nodes may be a reaction to the flu shot.Try using some warm compresses on the nodes for 30-30minutes several times a day. If they don't begin to shrink in a day or two see your doctor for evaluation.
