A member asked:

Dr. Ira Rubin answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Lymph node: Lymph nodes take a long time to resolve. If it is painful then the penicillin is not working and you need a drug called clindamycin If it is not painful, give it another week to shrink. If concerned have it checked by your dentist again.
