Swollen Lymph After Candin Treatment?

[cyclinginco]

Hello,

I just noticed a small, painful lump in my left armpit where the lymph node is located.  I also received a candin yeast injection to treat warts on my left hand about 4 days ago.  Could the candin injection have caused a response in my lymph node that is causing the swelling?  I can't seem to find this listed anywhere as a side effect of using candin to treat warts.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi

This swollen lymph node is a natural reaction I would say to the injection. However, this may also be a reaction to other infections that are present in the area. If aside from the injection, there were previous signs of redness, tenderness or breaks on the skin noted in the area then this may contribute to the swollen lymph node. The lymph node serves as the body's secondary defense system wherein mature cells equipped with proteins that ward off and filter the bacteria or other foreign organisms are present. Enlarged lymph nodes suggest enhanced activity or an underlying lymph node infection or lymphadenitis. This may not be something that you should be worried. Observe the swollen lymph node and see if this improves in time
