The lymph nodes enlargement will not reduce completely. You need not worry about it. They will persist but are not harmful.
Next Steps
Get sputum for AFB test done after completion of course along with complete blood counts to check whether they are back to normal. You can Go for AFB culture for reaffirmation.
