Hernia is uncommon possibility at your age. Because your problem is associated with fever possibility of infection is high however considering your age it is very necessary that you get yourself examined by surgeon.

If inguinal hernia is ruled out by an USG, it could be a swollen lymph node- highly likely due to the fever. In such a case an antibiotic and anti inflammatory should help your case.

Get an USG of the groin
