Hi,
Usually urinary tract infections need antibiotics for longer than a week. Since your lymph nodes are still enlarged though less than previously and you have been having recurrent infection, in my opinion, it will be better to continue the antibiotics for longer to ensure that no residual infection remains. Please discuss with your doctor regarding whether the previous antibiotics can be continued for longer or any change is needed.
Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
