Tooth: Neck nodes will calm as infection subsided. It may last up to several weeks. Warm compress may help.

Lymph nodes: As the antibiotics control the infection from the tooth they will also control the swelling and tenderness in the lymph nodes. As the infection is eliminated, the associated results of the infection should subside. Continue with treatment and follow the advice or your doctor.
