Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
This looks like TB lymphadenitis.
Better consult a pediatrician and get all the investigations done including FNAC to exclude tuberculosis
Take treatment according to his suggestion.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
I shall be happy to answer more queries if required.
