You know not to worry about it as well because it is likely to be transient. It is still possible there is inflammation in a reactive lymph node that you may not have palpated.

Not unusual after immunization. Warm shower, stretching, and some acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be helpful. Should be better in a few days.
