Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I am not able to understand you question.I got the point that FNAC of lymph node is normal. But which lymph nodes? what do you mean by TNJ? In our medical terminology TMJ means temporomendibular joint.
So your question is difficult to understand. Please ask question clearly and with details , so we can give you best specific answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for info.
I just also read your past questions to our site and go the the details.
TMJ is self can not cause any enlargement of the node.If there is inflammation around joint or painful joint movement( like chewing), we need to examine TMJ otherwise it is ok.
Inflammatory enlargement of lymph node revert back in 7-10 days depending upon cause of inflammation.In your case already antibiotic is started, so wait for a week. And yes sometime mild enlargement remain persist in lymph node due to fibrous-collagen tissues, which is not harmful.So just relax.
Hope I have answered your query,
