First you need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.
Lymph nodes may be enlarged due to infection in lower limb or pelvic area.
These are the draining lymph nodes of lower limb and pelvis area.
If enlargement of lymph nodes are suspected due to infection then broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed.
Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen should be done.Further investigations can be done if needed.
FNAC may be needed after clinical evaluation.If findings are inconclusive in FNAC then biopsy should be done.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
