Question
A child discovered a lump in the groin area on Tuesday and received intravenous treatment in the hospital’s surgery department on Saturday. By Sunday and Monday, the lump had grown larger and was accompanied by pain. Painkillers were taken from Monday afternoon to evening, and there was no pain on Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon, the child was transferred to the hematology department for specialized intravenous treatment and detailed examination. The child usually has symptoms such as fever, cough, and severe athlete’s foot. Now, the child’s parents would like to know whether the lymph node is benign or malignant.
Answer
Based on the described situation, the possibility of inflammation in the groin lymph node swelling is high. It is recommended to treat symptomatically and closely monitor for any other discomfort. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
