Hi,
Nothing to worry right now. Reactive lymphadenitis is common finding. You should be on follow up. You should search for any infective etiology at the draining area. Exact size, shape, consistency, fixity to the underlying structures should be carefully examined. If the lymph node will decrease in size no need of any investigation. Anyway, As you have family history of breast cancer it is better to go for clinical breast examination at three years interval. Take care.
