Lymph nodes are collecting areas within the lymphatic system for all manner of immune cells and antibodies. If there is a malignancy or infection, the lymph nodes nearest the site will become inflamed. If the infection is extensive or there is a malignancy, there may be involvement of further away lymph nodes. Have it checked by a Dr if it lasts longer than 1 month.

Agree with Dr Kratzberg. But also, although this is happening more in females, this has been occurring sometimes after COVID vaccine, so if on same side you had that, it is common and will go away over time. If it doesn't, follow Dr Kratzberg's advice to see your doctor.
