What Causes Swollen Glands In Neck,cold And Painful Bump In Groin Area?
I have had a head cold for three weeks now, (they usually only last a week for me) mostly just stuffy runny nose, but no sore throat... and have taken over the counter decongestants, and even tried allergy antihistamines in case it is my hayfever allergy and after a quick doctor visit a 3days course of what I think were antibiotics... (I live in china ;) All to no noticeable effect. Yesterday I awoke with swollen glands in my neck and a painful bump in my groin area between leg and abdomen (first time that's ever happened). Is that just part of the cold progressing to lymph system?

There few reasons for for swollen glands ,the most common is an infection. However, most of the time when we take antibiotics and does not improve, it could be secondary to viral infection, as mononucleosis, Cytamegalovirur. Other possibilities are parasites or non infectious as lymphoma and leukemia. You should consult with your doctor and get some basic laboratory test to evaluate your medical condition.
