Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have enlarged lymphnode. It can be mostly due to reactive hyperplasia as a result of some infection. Rarely it can be tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should take a course of antibiotics according to advise. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
