Can you massage swollen lymph nodes in the armpit?

If you touch an enlarged lymph node in the armpit, massage is not recommended. This is because lymph nodes are a very important component of the immune system and can be distributed all over the body surface. The axillary lymph nodes are also a relatively large cluster of lymph nodes in the body, which may be enlarged due to infectious factors, tumor factors, abnormal cellular proliferation, or other variant of metaplastic proliferation. If swollen lymph nodes are found, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for examination, have a physical examination and blood test to clarify the cause of the swelling, and then carry out specific treatment. If it is an infected lymph node, clarify the bacterial source of infection and apply targeted drugs.
