Shotty inguinal: Nodes are usually benign and self limiting , but when it is tender and painful - you need to have it checked for possible infection and get treatment early.

Need to be seen: If it is a bite, than she will need to be treated before it potentially worsens. In the mean time, try warm compresses.
