Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

My right side of neck below jaw is swelled for the past 2-3 weeks. I went to ENT and was prescribed Cepodem antibiotics for a week and was send for a USG to be on the safe side. The USG report said reactive adenopathy and one of the lymph nodes which was earlier painful is hypoechoic , elongated with loss of hilium. I am scared the heck out. Doctor told normal infection but why the swelling hadn't gone down with antibiotics??. Is their any chances of lyphoma
