Swollen lymphnode behind baby's ear

Obviously I've already talked to Dr about this. At my daughter's last appointment she was 10 weeks old. I asked Dr about the bump behind her ear. Dr said it was a swollen lymphnode and was probably caused by some redness behind her ear. She told me to put hydrocortisone cream on it and that's what I've been doing. She is now 12 weeks and the lymphnode is still swollen but has not gotten any bigger and I continue to use the cream. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this and how long it will take for the lymphnode to go down.

    At DD's 2-month appointment I mentioned to my pediatrician that I noticed two lymph nodes at the base of her skull behind the ears about the size of peas. Ped said she wasn't concerned and they will probably disappear. She said they could still be a little swollen from a cold from weeks earlier. DD is now over 3 months old and I haven't felt them in a while.

    @breezypip Update: asked the Dr about it on Monday and she said it was fine. She said it can sometimes take them awhile to go down!
