Hi,
From history it seems that this enlrged lymph node might be due to some chronic infection in surrounding parts.
As she is fine and good appetite nothing to worry.
If problem persisted then problem of having primary complex should be ruled out with some investigations like,
Montoux test,
X-ray chest and
Complete blood checking.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
