What Causes Swelling On The Mons Pubis While Suffering From Fever?

My 2.5 year old girl has swelling on the right side on her mons pubis... she has had fevers and was diagnosed with viral gastro, it is now day 9 and the fevers have ceased, but swelling is still there.. could this be glands from whatever viral thing she had?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are no glands on the mons pubis. There are lymph nodes that run along the groin creases which are usually not felt but can enlarge if there is inflammation or infection nearby.

For how long has the swelling been there? Is it increasing in size? What color is it? Is it draining anything?

If swelling is not increasing in size, no fever, normal appetite and activity, then it will be safe to watch her at home tonight. Take her to her doctor's office in the morning.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
