Swollen lymph after vaccine

Hi all, 

I have recently been worrying like crazy after receiving the covid vaccine second dose of Pfizer on the 23rd October. It's now the 11th November and I am still noticing a swollen lymph node on the same armpit / arm as I would've been jabbed. I also recently, a week or so before the vaccine had hand foot and mouth from my baby, a tummy bug and the flu - could my body still be reacting? 
I have an ultrasound waiting for a date to be booked in with the hospital - but in the meantime I am really worried! 
I am 32 and suffer with Crohn's and Asthma, and have a 5 month year old baby boy. My anxiety levels are through the roof. Since having my baby I've become more of a worrier in every aspect!! 
The lymph's feel moveable and bean like but a little tender around the area  - anyone else experienced anything similar after the vaccine?

 
Thanks for your support 

Hannah

    Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope everything is ok with yours too. Glad you have an appointment booked in with the doctor. 
    It's so reassuring to know people are going through the same thing, this forum is amazing especially as sometimes you feel so alone and Dr Google is just your worst enemy and the only person you can really go to when you're feeling like this! It's very hard for other people to understand.

    Awww I know it's so tough being a mummy isn't it. We just want the best for them and feel so much pressure and worry if things aren't going the right way! Lots of love to you! Hannah x
