What Causes Enlarged Inguinal Lymph Nodes, Fever And Fatigue?

Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I went through your post about your granddaughter.
Lymph nodes are part of immune system. Localized lymph node enlargement of recent onset indicates infection. Fever further confirms infection.
Inguinal lymph nodes drain the lower limbs, external genitals, gluteal region, anus and lower part of the abdominal wall.
So if inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged, it indicates, there is infection in one of the above mentioned areas.
You can examine these areas to look for infection.
Let her continue taking antibiotic and tylenol.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if there are any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
