How soon do lymph nodes begin to act?!

Question: To my understading, if the body gets infected, lymph glands start to act to fight off the infection. how soon after infection this begins to happen. Lets say the tongue gets wounded and the wound gets infected. Will the gland need a few days to start?? thanks

Immediately.
More like it depends on one's lymphatic system alertness.
Old and sick people tend to be slower compared to a young and healthy person.
