Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us.
The ER staff should have told you to schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician. If not, then please do so today.
While in the ER, did you have any scan, such as an x-ray or CT scan of the injured area?
Were you told what the cause of the swollen axillary gland was? If given an antibiotic, a bacterial infection must have been suspected. I would be concerned that an antibiotic was prescribed without the bacteria identified.

What exactly were you told by the ER staff?
