Definitely it is enlarged. How long is it been since the lymph nodes enlargement? Are there any other region with node enlarged?

Get an FNAC of the lymph nodes, and confirm it with Biopsy and HPE report.

Enlarged lymph node doesn't signify that you have cancer. Mostly because of infection. start oral antibiotics.

Usually lymphnodes larger/ equal to 2cm are considered significant. Unlikely to be cancer. Most likely you have some source of infection/ inflammation in the area that drains into the lymphnode area. Anyway you can start a course of antibiotics. Nothing to be stressed about as of now.
