Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. She should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
