Hi,
Lymph nodes can take quite some time for swelling to go down. Some may never fully go away. The lymph node is like a little bacteria cemetery. It harbors the dead bacteria while the body slowly eliminates them.
If they are still painful, warm compresses can help. If they continue to be painful, a trip back to your dentist would be warranted.
Hope this helps!
My best to you,
Gellia
