She has a low grade fever 99.6. Sweating off and on day and night. Went to doctor 4 days ago and was given antibiotics.Diagnosis was posterior cervical lymphodemitis. No blood Test done.

Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to an infection (viral or bacterial). For this reason, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, blood bacterial culture).
If a viral infection is suspected, further tests may be needed (for mononucleosis, etc). You should discuss this with her doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
