Mgt: Lymph nodes may swell in reaction to an infection. If you are otherwise well, it will take a few weeks to decrease in size. Please see your PCP for any pain or fever associated.

Start over: What antibiotic[s]? For what infection? Where? Left side of what? Neck? Chest? Enlarged lymph nodes are common with all infections. Often this can be ignored.
