Here's my guess, Amit:
you had some infection which is now gone, but the scarring caused in the nodes remains.

There can also be some inflammation that is not from an infection. The anti-inflammatory effect of the omega-3 can make that inflammation go down a little bit.

Extreme emotional stress can also be making the nodes increase in size a little and can also be involved in the  vasculitis in your blood vessels. That would be rare, but I think it's possible.

Lymph nodes can enlarge because of an infection, but sometimes they don't go back down as they should because they get filled with scar tissue. Therefore, you can have a CBC that shows no active infection anymore, yet still have enlarged nodes for a long time afterwards.

I am taking omega 3 tablets from 2 months because of it I guess lump is smaller in size. Had stopped it taking from 3 days and lump grows faster again.
