Hi. If there is no relief , it is mandatory to get the biopsy of the node done ASAP to get a correct diagnosis . it may be a serious problem.
As a rule - anything not getting OK within 1 to 3 weeks maximum should be removed and tested.
Noe-a-days we can do this by laparoscopy too , one day care surgery...

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
To treat such pain, diagnosis is necessary. Usually lymph nodes get enlarged due to some infection. So he should have antibiotic treatment first. If it wont help, stool tests and Yersinia antibodies in the blood should be done. If no infection will be present, lymph nodes should be excised and tested under a microscope.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
