Axillary Lymph Nodes - #17531

For the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that the axillary lymph nodes on both sides of my body feel swollen. I’m a 40-year-old woman, and although I don’t generally have health problems, this swelling has been worrying me. It started out as a mild tenderness under my armpits, but over time, the area has become slightly more swollen, and I can feel some lumps. They don’t hurt unless I press on them, but it’s still uncomfortable, especially when I wear tight clothes. I also feel a bit more fatigued than usual, though I’ve been getting plenty of rest. I’ve tried to ignore it, thinking it might just be due to stress or maybe something like a mild infection. However, the swelling hasn’t gone down, and I’ve heard that axillary lymph nodes can sometimes indicate more serious health issues, so I’m getting concerned. I don’t have any visible infections like pimples or rashes in the area, but I am noticing a slight change in my overall health. I’ve also had a low-grade fever on and off. Is it possible that the axillary lymph nodes swelling could be a sign of something more serious, like an infection or immune system issues? I went to a doctor for a check-up, and they didn’t seem overly concerned, telling me it could just be an infection or perhaps my body reacting to something mild. They suggested that I wait and see if it resolves on its own. Still, I’m wondering if there’s something Ayurvedic medicine could do to help speed up the healing process. I’ve heard that Ayurveda focuses on restoring balance to the body and immune system, so I wonder if there are specific herbs or treatments that can help with axillary lymph nodes swelling. Could there be a link between this and my digestive health? I’ve had some bloating and occasional indigestion, but I never thought it could be related to the axillary lymph nodes. Could my lymphatic system be struggling due to a buildup of toxins, and is there an Ayurvedic remedy that helps with detoxification and supports the lymphatic system in this way? I’ve also been under a fair amount of stress lately, and I know that stress can impact the immune system. Could the swelling of my axillary lymph nodes be related to stress, or is it more likely to be an infection or something else entirely? I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me understand how Ayurveda approaches this and if there are natural ways to treat the axillary lymph nodes swelling. Should I consider Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma, or would dietary changes alone help improve my lymphatic health? I’m willing to try natural remedies, but I don’t want to overlook something more serious. I would love to hear from anyone with experience or knowledge on how Ayurveda could address issues related to swollen axillary lymph nodes.
