Hello,
It takes minimum time for lymph nodes to shrink but as you say you took antibiotics for 10 days and still if it is there, then you need to change the regimen of antibiotic and retry for 5 to 7 days again.
Kindly give us your treatment history.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Archana
