When taking antibiotics for swollen lymph nodes, is it normal to feel a little sore and tender where the node was?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The swelling of the lymph node stretches itts surrounding capsule. This stretch can cause pain in that node. Once the swelling goes down, there may be some residual soreness, but it should quickly resolve.

Lymph nodes in the groin have been sore and swollen off and on the past few months. Gyn did a cbc, urinalysis and metabolic panel -- everything normal. Does that rule out cancer or anything serious?
