Suggest medication for swelling of lymph nodes in groin area
Patient: My lymph nodes near my groin are swollen.  And I do have a bad case of poison oak on my penis and scrotum. Especially my penis became quite swollen but is slowly becoming less so  in the last couple of days.  Are the swollen lymph nodes a perfectly normal reaction to this or should I be more concerned? Doctor: Hello,  It could be due to local inflammation. Consult a general practitioner and start a short course of antibiotics like amoxiclav for five to seven days.  If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. A fine needle biopsy is required to make a diagnosis.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
