Hello.... It could be lymph node or lumbar in the neck... Every swelling is not cancer and doctors cannot comment on it without examination, so take her to general surgeon.. If she symptoms of infection, it could be hard lymph node... If swelling is not increasing in size day by day it is not a cancerous swelling
