Enlarged nodes: What you described suggests enlarged lymph glands. These may occur for trivial reasons such as dandruff. Try to keep her scalp clean with frequent shampooing. You may watch and wait. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or she develop fever, or loses weight, you should see a doctor.
