Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your doctor is right...
In upper respiratory tract infection lymph node can be enlarged as reactive lymph node enlargement
So complete the antibiotic course...
If after completion of antibiotic therapy your lymph node still enlarged than simply FNAC investigation done to rule out nature of lesion
Take care
Hope this will help you
