Are there any other symptoms? If no, Please get a USG neck done and show it your treating physician. Sometimes it takes time for the lymph node to reduce in size. If in the next 4 weeks if it doesn't show any reduction then consider getting biopsy done. If there are other new symptoms or a old ones have not subsided yet, then please show to a tb physician.
