hello, welcome to HCM. I can understand your concern.when ever there is infection, there willl be lymphnode swelling as the infection are drained into these nodes. The lymphnode enlargement below the jaw is due to infection in and around mouth. As the infection decreases the size also decreases. You have not mentioned any other symptoms/ problems related to head and neck. So seeing the size decrease, i can definetly say the problem is solved. Take care. Good health
