A member asked:

I have a swollen lymp node on the left side of my groin. it is very painful. what should i do? i have amoxicillin can i take it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your physician: You should see your health care provider for examination. It is not appropriate to self medicate with antibiotics...That could lead to resistant infection.
