Hello there,
How did you first find out that it was a lymph node? Did they do an ultrasound of neck? Many times these lymph nodes can reduce on their own. But to be sure you need an ultrasound of neck focussing on thyroid. Cannot ignore it altogether as rarely it maybe a treatable tumour. So please try to get an ultrasound whenever possible. Its not urgent.
Take care.
