a swollen gland in my armpit? I've been sick for a few days (congested head, lots of drainage, coughing, upset stomach).

It effing hurts. I was just wondering if this was something to be concerned about or not. Thanks!

Are you BFing?  Sounds like a clogged duct to me.

No, I quit BFing about 3 months ago.

Could just be a swollen lymph node.  If you have a cold virus - that isn't uncommon to have a swollen lymph node somewhere.  I get them as well when my body is fighting something.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Unless it is really hurting...then maybe make an appt.

Lymph nodes for me typically swell on my neck, but I've had one swell in my armpit.
