Lymph node raised behind ear

The doctor just told me I have a raised lymph node behind my ear. It's a raised bump, not terribly noticeable but just really annoying considering he said it's probably never going to go down again . I was a bit worried at first when I found the lump as I'd been getting headaches the last week and been really tired, but he said it's basically just the lymph node that's swollen up (a relief, really)

MMy question is will this ever go down, despite what he's said, and is there anything i can do to relieve it?
Also will it be a health concern in the future?
It will go down. It's just a sign of infection or illness. The influx of white blood cells at the lymph nodes causes the inflammation. It is temporary
