Swollen lymph node

Hi everyone

I noticed a swollen lymph node in July 2025. Had an ultrasound in Aug & the report said more than likely a reactive nodule but repeat in 8 weeks to be sure. My Dr was convinced I must have been sick(I wasn't) but only thing I could think of was my old root canal.

Long story short extracted the tooth end of November incase that was the issue & when they extracted it the infection was worse than they thought. So I assumed that was probably the reason for the swollen node. My Dr was also sure it was & said the lymph node should go back to normal Jan, Feb the latest. It's March and it still feels the same size to me. I had 2 ultrasounds and both said it was reactive and nothing to be concerned about but obviously I don't want it swollen.

Are there any herbs or tea I could use to help my lymphatic system ? We are doing IVF in 2 months so I really wanted this sorted before then or at least shrinking

Thanks everyone!
