Recurrent lymph node enlargement not responding to good antibiotics and formation of recurrent abscess may be tubercular lymphadenitis. Your daughter needs to undergo tests for tuberculosis such as mauntox test, fine needle aspiration cytology, sputum examination etc
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist or Paediatric specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
