Good day. i have a swelling under my left armpit which has been growing over the past 5 days. it's now big and uncomfortable. it started a day after i hurt my thumb nail on my left arm, the nail is almost fully healed now. i'm doing home remedies?

Be cautious: Sounds like an inflammed lymph node, which could be reactive secondary to an infection over thumb, but could be localized due to axillary infection. This evolution of symptoms could be risky and home remedies might be futile. See your doctor ASAP, as this may require antibiotics or even lancing.
