I agree that lymphatic massage will help the swelling. You have to get the lymph fluids moving since the nodes have been removed. Ari had the same problem and had to go into hospital to have it drained. Good thing you were put on antibiotics because Ari had an infection... Of course he waited until his neck was growing by the minute before he agreed to go to ER. Stubborn patient!!
Take care!
