Is Painful Swollen Lymph Node Normal After Allergy Venom Injections?

Hi there, I have a bee and wasp sting allergy - anaphylaxis As such I started my immunotherapy today - first of 8 sessions of venom. The doctor is starting very slowly as I had an anaphylactic reaction to the skin prick test. I finished my allergy venom shots about 4 hours ago. I just noticed a painful lymph node, swollen, at the back of my head. Is this normal?

ya its normal reaction in some patient, it will subside by 1-3 days, take anti inflammatory analgesic drugs and serratiopeptidase if symptoms are getting worse, and consult your treating doctor if needed.
