Hi
Welcome to hcm
You have not told your age, size of lump and it increases on coughing. If increasing on coughing and decreasing on lying down means it is hernia which needs surgery. If its size not changing it can be a lymph node/ kind of gland which is enlarged either due to infection or tuberculosis/TB or very rarely some kind of lymphoma/type of cancer. But exact cause can be diagnosed only after you provide the above mentioned information.
Regards
