I often (every two-three months) will get a swollen sore lympn node under my arm or behind my ear. One surfaced the other day and this time it is swollen, sore and also red.
I think these are just signs that our bodies are fighting off something, right? So I have basically always let them die down. But Ryan thinks I should go get it checked out, wwyd?
Re: would you call Dr.
If you question it, get it chekced out. It'd make you both feel better, right?
When in doubt, I always check on mayoclinic.com for "when to see the doctor":

Based on the redness, I'd probably go just in case.
I would definitely go to a doctor. Everyone's body reacts differently to infection, but if you can feel your lymph nodes under your arms and it's painful and red-- then that's a pretty decent sign that your body is doing something on a decently-sized scale.
Can't hurt to get it checked out...
