Lymph nodes are an important part of your body's immune system. They help pump lymphatic fluid through your body. A swollen lymph node could be a symptom of an infection or possibly cancer. Antioxidants wouldn't make a lymph node go away. If the lymph node is enlarged because of an infection, antioxidants could help your body fight the infection, and then the lymph node might go back to its normal size. People in cancer treatment should not take antioxidants without their doctor's approval.
