Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the painful lumps in the groin area.
Incomplete data: Age, duration of the lumps, any associated symptom like fever, weight loss, etc.

Apparently these are due to enlarged lymph glands indicative of inflammatory, infective, or malignancy.
Since a course of antibiotic has failed to resolve the swelling, I advise you to consult a surgeon for proper evaluation. You may be required to undergo some lab tests like CBC, ESR, FNAC of the lumps, Chest x ray to rule out the inflammatory conditions of the lymphnodes.

Hope to have answered your query.
