Can Red Bumps On The Above Forehead Suggest?

My 24 year old daughter has a red bump about the size of a quarter, at her hairline above her forehead. It is very swollen and throbs. We have had her to the Dr. (one week ago), and he put her on antibiotics after taking blood and an x-ray, which he said all came back normal. He thought it might be an enlarged lymph node. What do you think our next step should be?
