Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Need Medication For Swollen Lymph Node On The Junction Of The Thigh
I have a swollen lymph node in the juction of my thigh where the crease is, with a couple of pea size noduls beside it. They don t hurt, and aren t tender it seems, but I m concerned. I have no insurance and can t afford a dr. Is this anything to worry about.
It could be due to some local inflammation or infection in the nearby region. As a first line management, you can start a short course of antibiotics. If the nodes persist for very long duration, a fine needle biopsy may be considered for a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing all the best. Thanks.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
