Sounds reasonable: Lymph nodes can enlarge in response to an infectious or malignant process but sometimes they actually develop something similar to an infection even though no other infectious symptoms. In that case antibiotics are used to treat. At times more obscure infectious causes are at work and several different blood draws or imaging may be needed. If nothing found a biopsy of the node may be required.
