Q: had strept for awhile but now strept has cleared up. had 1 swollen lymph node when will it go down or is this cancer? it seems like it goes down then back up?

: It is not unusual for the lymph node to be swollen for up to a month after strept. And it can go up and down. It also can be somewhat larger forever following the initial reaction.
