Hello, thank you for your inquiry about Vinmec Health System, the swelling of 2 axillary lymph nodes and pain has many causes, possibly due to an inflammatory reaction after giving birth. or axillary lymphadenitis. You should go to the obstetrics department of Vinmec International General Hospital for examination and diagnosis.
