Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have sustained injury to frenulum due to consecutive sex over a short period of time .

The enlarged lymph nodes suggest infection which has speead to regional lymph nodes .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime and anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily for a week.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

It should get cured within a week .
