According to Hopkins Medicine, an infected lymph node (Lymphadenitis) should be treatable. "Lymphadenitis is the medical term for enlargement in one or more lymph nodes, usually due to infection. Lymph nodes are filled with white blood cells that help your body fight infections. When lymph nodes become infected, it's usually because an infection started somewhere else in your body," the site explains.
But, the key to treatment is understanding where it started -- "Infections that spread to lymph nodes are usually caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus. It is important to learn how the infection spread into your lymph nodes so that the right treatment can be started."
Knowing it began in the young boy's groin as an abscess, hopefully, he will make a full and quick recovery!
Get Well Soon!
