Help me to understand my Lymph Node Biopsy Report Please?

Hi,

     I had a Lymph Node Biopsy (Node completely removed)  last week and my report is as follows....
"Features favor reactive follicular hyperplasia of lymph node"

What does it means? My ENT only told me that it is just reactive lymph node and nothing else and he has n't recommended any tablets are anything else.  Please help me to understand it completely and also do i need to take any antibiotics are anything else.

Your lymph nodes just had a workout, but they will settle down and be fine.  You do not need to take any pills.  Just eat right and exercise.  If symptoms resolve, you're good.  Otherwise, report back.
