Could take months: Lymph nodes swell up to help the body fight off infection. It depends upon what sort of infection you had but if all symptoms of the infection have gone then you are probably cured, but it can still take the lymph node 1-2 months to go back down to normal size. If you have any other symptoms of the infection then see your doctor again.
