Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

I have read details of your question.

Generally hernia is reducible & increases with coughing.There is no associated chills ,fever or rigors in hernia.Looking at your details it should be inflamed lymph nodes at groin.Check the reason for there enlargement.These are generally enlarged due to infection or problem in lower limb or problem at the genital area.
Your details does not show any intake of any antibiotic while this is necessary.So please take the antibiotic preparation on prescription of your doctor.

Hope this will help you & add in his faster recovery.

With best wishes.
