A node swollen from draining an infected area, like tonsils, may take a few days to weeks to return to normal size. You may feel the node every couple of days, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
