A member asked:

Jaw lymph nodes swollen in 5 yo. 2 weeks post abx 4 infect.swelling greatly decreased but still present/tender when pushed. no other symptoms. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Since you feel they have decreased in size this is likely okay. Many times when nodes become infected it takes more than the usual 3 weeks for them to return to resting size. Just monitor for now,
