Enlarged, tender lymph nodes can definitely happen with Covid-both the vaccine and actual infection. It should decrease over time, as the infection gets better. If it persists, see your doctor. Hope you feel better real soon!

While not normal, it is an expected response to an infection. You may feel the nodes every 3-4 days, if any of the lymph glands 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!
