Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This looks to be inflamed lymph node as per your history and site.
Just get confirmed that this is not an obstructed hernia as the site will be same.
If a node , a course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines would solve the problem. If required ultrasonography and FNAC helps for a better diagnosis under the care of a Doctor.
