Hi...by what you quote this looks like a cervical adenopathy and there are many reasons for it - most common being insignificant lymphadenopathy. If your kid is not having weight loss or severe loss of appetite or anemia, you need not worry it. But if she develops fever and if the swelling is increasing in size rapidly, it is better to seek medical attention.
