Hi linna

Go to your GP and if it is an infection they will give you antibiotics.Its also handy to keep some antiseptic wipes with you incase of cuts and scratches.

Ring your breast care nurses. GPs are not lymphoedema specialists. Lymphoedema can start at anytime and at first can be only slight. I first noticed my hand was swollen. Immediate attention and treatment is of the essence. Yes your GP will prescibe antibiotics if it is an infection and I always carry a supply if i go away on holiday.
