Brief Answer:
Mostly local infection, wait & see, if persists ultrasound and infect scan
Detailed Answer:

lymph node swellings are often harmless and temporary and mostly due to local infection. However, if this persists for longer time ore any signs of infection occur there should be an ultrasound of the lymphnode and an infect scan (blood work, examination) scheduled.
