Hi Leilasabrina,

Sorry you're going through this worry at what should be such a happy time.  Hopefully it is going to be nothing to worry about, try and take comfort in the fact that your breasts are going through lots of changes again now and that can lead to infections etc.  Even when infections clear up the lymph nodes don't always go back down (I have two in my neck that have been swollen now for decades) and even when they do it can take time.

You've done the right thing seeing your GP and you are now in a process that will get you answers and hopefully put your mind at rest.  I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry until you have to, the vast majority of lumps in our bodies turn out to be nothing serious at all.

Let us know how you get on?

Hi 

I just wanted to know as you said sometimes after an infection the lymph nodes don't go back to normal but what if they are the size of a large grape. 
 

I had a lymph node in my armpit that was big tender red and the doctors prescribed me antibiotics which helped me to an extent as it helped with the tenderness pain and some swelling was gone but it's still a big grape size and I'm really worried.
