I am a 23 year old female having swelling in left armpit. It causes pain and slight itching. I am applying ketoconazole powder on it. I took 1) cefixime and ofloxacin tablets for 5 days and 2) tolnaftate tablets for 5 days. I finished the tablets around 5 days back. However suddenly today the swelling has increased. Please help.

Swelling can be an abscess which is likely due to bacterial cause. You need to use antibiotic if so in proper course. If it is recurring can be a lymph node enlargement due to other cause. Better you go for ultrasound soft tissue examination and rule out the cause. Please don't neglect.
