Hi,Welcome to HCM.Studied your query in all the details.
Based on the facts of your query,Possibility of cystecerciasis in both you and your daughter, could not be ruled out as your puppy had worms treatment.
As your doctor has confirmed that they are not Lymphnodes,Excision Biopsy after USG study of these lump would resolve the issue you had.
Your Surgeon would be right person who would investigate for other complications of it.

Hope this would resolve your worry.
