Patient's question:
The child discovered a lump on the thigh Tuesday. By Saturday, they went to the hospital's surgical department for IV fluids. On Sunday and Monday, the lump grew larger and became more painful. In the afternoon of Monday, they took pain medication. On Tuesday, there was no pain. In the afternoon of Tuesday, they were transferred to the hematology department to focus on IV fluids and underwent various detailed examinations (previously had fever, cough, and severe athlete's foot). Now, they want to know if this lymph node is benign or malignant.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, there is a higher possibility of inguinal lymph node swelling and inflammation. For this condition, it is recommended to start with symptomatic treatment and carefully observe whether there are any other discomforts. I hope my explanation can help you.
