Hello,
The swollen lymph nodes are related to the presence of an infection in the system.
They want some time to go away.
They may need up to six months to return back to normal.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications in case of severe inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
