Hello,

Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX

Your problem is probably not directly related to the cookies you ate.

What you have at the level of your calf seems most likely of infectious origin; cellulitis or venous thrombosis, and on your groin is an inflamed lymph node.

You will need to visit an ER as soon as possible. At the level of your groin it is most likely an inflamed lymph node which is maybe due to the inflammation at the level of your calf.

Not with standing you may be having a rare form of allergic reaction (doctor needs to rule that out).

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
