Hi
It depends on size, clearance and relief of symptoms of lymph node.
And you might need USG lymph node for assessment. Have a discussion with pulmonologist

The resolution of infection is seen by resolution of lymph node swelling , absence of fever, adequate weight gain , etc . If there were Xray shadows earlier, they may show resolution too if the treatment is adequately completed.
