Well, I don't know: Particulars about your situation - but sometimes it can take quite a while for lymph nodes to return to their normal size. They don't necessarily shrink all the way back down as soon as your antibiotics are finished. Take care.

Swollen glands: It may take a long time for nodes to shrink and sometimes stay somewhat enlarged. Continue care with your doctor and report any changes immediately.
