Hi.
5 months old swelling.
If hard , not mobile - does not reduce or increase, relatively tender, changes no position= it can be a lymph node. You can undergo at least ultrasonography to confirm .
Another possibility is of a hernia. If the omentum has come and stuck. Usually hernia have impulse- movement on coughing , are reducible, nontender.
