Hello!!
These lumps that you are feeling is most likely to be lymph nodes.It occurs due any infection in the head and neck region. Any child until puberty is prone to upper respiratory infection and this in turn lead to enlarged lymph nodes.If there is dandruff then the nodes can enlarge. There isnt anything to be alarmed about it as they are asymptomatic. She can visit the physician to confirm that they are benign.

I hope you found my response to be helpful and informative. If you have any additional concerns I would be happy to address them.
