Go get it checked out. It can very well be something benign. I've had lymph nodes swell up too but for a variety of reasons such as allergies or fighting off a virus. I've even had a cyst ON a lymph node that had be removed.

I had some swell up when I started tapering 40 mg Pred. I was nervous too as I'm on 50 mg of 6mp.

Turns out it was nothing, but didn't hurt to get it checked out.
