Question
How should one handle the situation of an axillary swelling in a twelve-year-old boy?
Answer
If a twelve-year-old boy experiences axillary swelling, it may be due to enlarged lymph nodes or subcutaneous nodules. Enlarged lymph nodes could be a result of diseases affecting the head, face, throat, or upper limbs; subcutaneous nodules may be formed from subcutaneous fatty tissue. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to confirm the tissue structure. If the examination results are normal, there is no need to worry. If there are other concerns, feel free to ask again.
