She seems to be suffering from cervical lymph node enlargement which usually occurs secondary to common cold, upper respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis etc. If swellings are small and not associated with pain then not much of treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
