Hello,
Groin lumps and armpit lump are swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small (1-2cm) and bean-shaped nodes.Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes include allergic reactions, arthritis, cancer, metabolic diseases, and an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

In sinusitis, the glands in the neck are most likely to swell—a common response to a cold or upper respiratory infection or allergies. But this type of swelling(in groins and armpits) can occur only if sinusitis is  a result of infection(bacterial, fungal or viral).

Treatment for inflamed, swollen lymph nodes, also known as lymphadenitis, depends on the cause. In some cases, over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers and warm compresses may be all you need. For more serious cases, treatment of swollen lymph nodes involves treating the underlying cause.

I hope I have provided you with sufficient information. If you need any more, then pls post us.

Regards and God bless.
