HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Dexilant is a medication normally used for gastroesophageal reflux disease. It can help if you are experiencing symptoms related to that condition.
It would not help with the lymph node however.
The antibiotics may be helpful with the lymph node though it can take 4 to 6 weeks in some cases, for a lymph node to return to normal.
You can monitor to see if it reduces in this time period.
I hope this helps
