What Causes Lymph Node Swelling In The Left Side Of The Face?

can take weeks to decrease size, if stimulated in between, will enlarge
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Lymph nodes respond to an inflammation, allergy, infection in the area that they drain.
the lymph node could have responded to the trauma to the eye. It can take 4 weeks, sometimes up to 6 weeks for lymph nodes to go back to their normal size after enlargement.
If before that time, there is another source of inflammation/allergy/infection during this 4 to 6 weeks ,then the lymph nodes would enlarge again or would not get smaller.
If you are getting repeated sinus infections or allergies, then this would definitely stimulate the lymph nodes. This is the normal body response.
You can consider a full blood count if you remain concerned, this would look at the white cell count
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
