Inguinal lymph node: Movable, inguinal lymph node, 2 x 0.7 cm x ?. abx is=to antibiotics? for 6 days? Do you have any lower extremity infection or injury? no evidence of FEMORAL Hernia? If you lye flat, and try to manipulate the mass, can you make it go away? if so is a hernia, if not is a lymph node. Is only 1/multiple? do you worry? Ask Dr to reduce it, or to aspirate and do a smear for cytology and gram stain.
