Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having tuberculous lymphadenitis.
Go for biopsy of lymph node for TB.
Afterwards go for complete full course of anti-TB medicine for 6-9 months.
Give her well nourished food and multivitamin supplements.
Consult surgeon and get her examined and investigated.
Ok and take care.
