A member asked:
I am taking antibiotics for an enlarged lymph node in my armpit. i'm about 36 hours into them. when will it become less tender?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenitis weeks: Many times it takes up to three weeks! The cause in some people is viral so antibiotics are not always the solution! Mycobacterial, Viral, Chlamydial, Treponemal, and Fungal are the main causes! Many times a biopsy and culture are required!
