Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Reactive Lymphadenitis in simple language is the reaction of the lymph nodes towards infection.
Many a times after the active infection subsides there is still swelling in the lymph nodes and it tends to take a long time to resolve..
It is nothing serious and lymphadenitis can take comparatively longer time to subside as compared to the active infection..
If your child is completely symptom free you can do warm compresses over the lymph nodes as well as massage the lymph nodes gently with the finger tips in circular motion..

In case if there is still tenderness consulting a Paediatrician and getting advised for a short course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
