Hey. Hope u are well.
If it has reduced in size u dont need to worry at all. It must have been a reactive node which has now regressed in size. Pain in lymph node is usually a good sign because it points to infective cause. These nodes can remain enlarged sometimes even for years, so its normal if u still feel it. Relax
