Pain Under the Armpits After COVID Vaccine is Normal: Avoid Tight Clothing and Intense Exercise

The Saudi Ministry of Health, represented by #Health_937, responded to messages circulating about the appearance of "swelling and pain under the armpit" in some individuals after the COVID vaccine, confirming that this is normal and will resolve within a few days. The Ministry stated, "There is no need to worry, as swelling or pain in the lymph nodes located under the armpits or chest may occur with any vaccine and will, God willing, disappear within a few days." It added, "To alleviate the pain, you can take a pain reliever, avoid wearing tight clothing, and postpone engaging in intense physical exercise."
