I'm wondering if I should still get the swine flu vaccine even though I've already taken antiflu capsules as my doctor prescribed. Does taking the medicine mean I'm protected from swine flu, or is the vaccine still necessary?

I'm feeling a bit worried about a lump I found in my armpit. Should I go see a specialist or would a general medicine doctor be a better choice? I'd really appreciate any advice as soon as possible.

You should consult a General Surgeon for evaluation and management of armpit lumps. They are specialized in diagnosing and treating conditions related to lumps and bumps in the body. If necessary, they may refer you to an Oncologist for further evaluation.
