Question: What exactly are the causes of painful lymph nodes in the underarm area!?
Answers:
Painful lymph nodes would most likely be an infection or virus!. Lymph nodes enlarged from cancer USUALLY aren't painful!. That said, there are always exceptions -- cancer doesn't always play by the rules!. If the nodes do not go down within a few days or there is no explanation for why they are enlarged, see a doctor who can evaluate whether they are something to be concerned over!. A doctor needs to actually feel and see the nodes to determine whether they are a problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
