Can I take another dose of pain medicine tonight for a painful underarm lump after taking one this morning, and will this lump go away without antibiotics?

Asked by Female, 30 · 14 days ago

Most common over-the-counter options like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can safely be taken every four to six hours, so taking another dose tonight should be fine as long as you follow the package limits. Many underarm lumps, such as clogged glands or swollen lymph nodes, do heal on their own without antibiotics. Applying a warm compress can bring some comfort and help it resolve. However, if the lump grows, becomes redder, warmer, or leaks fluid, please have a doctor check it.
