Hi,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
Your daughter's enlarged lymphnodes mostly suggest infection that could be secondary to adenoids or tonsilitis if the swelling is accompained with fever or if they are painful.
Kindly consult a paediatrician.
They may advice antibiotics along with analgesics and antipyretics to resolve the infection.
Give her warm fluids like soups. Salt water gargle.
Hope this answers your query .
Regards Dr.Riyanka
