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 very much for your words, my friend. I am happy to have helped. You are a wonderful father to her. I will especially say a prayer for you both when I wake up on our Christmas morning here.

Keep in mind that zinc and iron can block each other and not be absorbed well together, so she should always take them at separate times. I take zinc myself, otherwise I get ridges in my fingernails and also my senses of smell and taste are low.

Best wishes to you and your little daughter.

"i want to out from fear of lymphoma. can i?"

Yes. You can instead focus on why your little girl had this problem. It's not lymphoma, and it's probably not anything serious. But still, it's not *ordinary* to have nodes swollen for so long. She might have other overactive immune reactions in her future over the many years, so if educate yourself on these things, you can help her a lot.

Btw, hello to Bangladesh! :)

That's great news, I'm happy for you.

"Only platelates count low  for iron deficiency."
I had not heard of that, it must be having to do only with children and not with adults. Is your little girl vegetarian?

Btw, it is said that vitamin C might increase absorption of iron.

Please let me know when she gets her good health report from the pediatrician in one month :)

Yes i am very happy to see her platelates count is in the range. And also see another specialize pedestrian doctor. he is the most top one in my country. He said, for a 3.5 years child her test result is not bad. Only platelates count low  for iron deficiency. He checked other area like bely. Chest and ear side nodes and spleen too.and tell me no need to worry about them. And no more test. And tell these are not big as much to call a biopsy. And off all the meds. Only give a iron syrup. And tell me to see him after one month and observe it.
