Dear seny23: If you had a sore red bump that drained pus, it was likely a pimple or ingrown hair and will improve in time. It would not be unusual for a lymph node to swell in this setting as well as the purpose of a lymph node is to filter out infection/inflammation. If this does not improve or gets worse, you should see your doctor.
