Hello, I Have A 1 Cm Swollen Lymph Node In

Hello, I have a 1 cm swollen lymph node in my neck,was close to 2cm at one time. I seen an ent and hematology doc, they both said its about 1 cm now? Its seems to get bigger and smaller? I have had problems with my tonsils since I was 16,I'm 29 now. I have chronic tonsil stones and white liquid that drains out while I'm removing the stones. Sometimes 15-20 stones at a time. It smells foul! I also have impacted wisdom teeth on the bottom,I'm waiting to remove them,as I'm healing from removing the top wisdom teeth,they were not impacted. The node feels rubbery/somewhat hard? I have had this node for over a year,as far as I know? Its size changes frequently. A biopsy will be done if the node doesn't go away after the impacted wisdom teeth are removed, I'm not removing my tonsils. I have had many tests such as std/HIV. Negative- So my question ? If its malignant, will it change in size from bigger to smaller? Antibiotics did nothing for it,maybe it got a little smaller,but then went back up and down. Please inform me if I should be worried. Thanks!
