Hi...any child of this age can have insignificant cervical lymphadenopathy and this is quit common. The blood tests do not mean anything. Simple viral illness can cause such result in the blood tests. Unless the kid has got prolonged fever or morethan 2 weeks duration and loss pd appetite and significant weight loss, sever anemia and pallor you need not worry.
