Some antibiotics have an anti-inflammatory effect, but Cefixime does not (as far as I know).  So then we can assume that the good effects from Cefixime are because it is fighting some bacteria.

It is interesting that the big nodes do not get smaller, but they get softer. I don't know why that is, except maybe there is some granuloma from bacteria in the nodes.

I would guess that the thing to do is to patiently finish the 10 days of Cefixime. Maybe the doctor will want to give even more days of Cefixime, if the nodes still continue to get smaller.

Also, I would be giving her yogurt, and not much sugar. In the intestines of every person are good bacteria that are necessary for healthy life. An antibiotic can kill the good bacteria along with killing the bad bacteria. Yogurt might help prevent that, and also prevent bad yeast from taking over in the intestine. In the worst case, you can see white patches of yeast inside the mouth.

Thank you, Albatross! Things seem to be working out well for you and your daughter.

That is strange that no other doctor saw lice before. I wonder if there might also be some other kind of parasite involved. I don't know that a node only as small as an apple seed could be felt under the skin. That's unusual for a node.

It's good to hear the correction that the supraclavicular node is not involved.

None of the symptoms seem like lymphoma at all. Maybe the lice carried some infection.

With the nasal inflammation, maybe there is something that she is breathing in, like in her pillow.

I hope you continue to have more good news :)

Yesterday night i went to a ped oncologist, she saw my daughter and said nothing it is. Her cold and itchy scalp and some lice in her hair make those nodes. I saw a very little one node lower neck tend to enlarge but it not larger than 0.5 cm.  I heard supraclavicular nodes are warning sign of malignancy. But doctor overlooked it also.
