A member asked:

I was recently diagnosed with strep throat but they never did a swab. my lymph nodes are swollen in my groin and i am concerned i have herpes.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Your throat infection maybe from bacteria other than strep or from viral infection. Mono can cause sore throat as well as lymph node enlargement. If you are concerned about about an std you should see your doctor specifically regarding any symptoms related to this. In other words your sore throat may not be related to your groin lymph node swelling.
