What Causes Lump Near Groin?

Hello,

I was recently seen at the ER for a lump near the groin. Now they looked and examined it but they didn't do anything else like bloodwork, ultrasound, etc. Now I am worried since they didn't do anything. They did give me antibiotics to clear an infection that they said I had. Help!

Hi.
If the Doctor has said infection , I would think more in the lines of an enlarged lymph node. Continue the medicines for 5 days minimum. Se the results. IF still persists may need further investigations
