How To Cure Swollen Lymph Nodes On Neck?

My grandson is two and has swollen lymph nodes in his neck right side bigger than other. Picked him up for summer visit from mother and nothing was said. He had a cough the first night but then that went away. He has no other symptoms besides the swollen lymph nodes. And they are going down but slowly. What can we do at home to clear this up?

Pediatrician 's  Response
The child may have suffered respiratory tract infection. May be subclinical. Lymph nodes are first barrier to check infection. Therefore they get swollen to take fight infection.
If it is already subsiding then there is no need to worry.
