I have had a sore throat for about 5 days and am on penicillin. What I am worried about is that there is a small lump in my armpit, and it has been there for 3 days now. I have never had any lumps before there, and I was wondering if it could be an allergy to penicilin!!!

It is quite possible that you are allergic to penicillin. Lumps that are created due to allergies in the armpit usually go away as soon as the provoking substance is removed from the body. So, I believe you should stop taking penicillin and find something else for the sore throat, or it is even better you visited a doctor, so that you can be sure it is a penicillin reaction
