I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the lung nodule looks smaller in my recent CT scan from last month. Does this mean it's more likely to be benign rather than malignant? And should I continue with antibiotics to see if the nodule disappears completely? Any idea how long that might take?

Could you help me understand what's going on?
