Question: Good afternoon Ive a small lymph node in my groin area should I be worried Ps theres no other swollen part its just being there for two days
Answer: Hi 

Infections are the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes 

Lymph nodes typically help the body fight off infections they work by trapping microorganisms to prevent them from infecting other parts of your body 
Swollen nodes in the groin can be caused by an injury or skin infection in the legs or foot some sexually transmitted infections STIs can also cause swollen lymph nodes in that area

Do you have any other symptoms Vomiting rash night sweats weight loss loss of appetite fatigue etc Also how long have you noticed it Is it painful 

In the absence of other symptoms I wouldnt be worried 
I would ask that you monitor it and visit a doctor if it increases in size or there are noticeable growths of other lymph nodes neck armpits back of your ears etc or of it persists for up to 4 weeks and other symptoms appear 

Meanwhile resting and applying a warm moist compress to the swollen area may help to relieve pain and swelling Also try to find the source possibly an injury if possible 
You will also benefit from a physicians review and check up as soon as possible  

Happy Holidays
