Hi. Lymph nodes in the neck can occur after an infection. However, depending on the size and other features of the lymph nodes, they can sometimes indicate other issues. Plz share the reports of any investigations (including Ultrasound) that were done prior to starting antibiotics, if any. Lymph nodes less than 1cm in size are usually not significant and can be ignored.
Plz consult with an ENT specialist near you for thorough evaluation and necessary follow-up.
Warm regards, Dr Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore

Most probably this happened due to past infection or inflammation.
Ones the size increases, little stays palpable.
