Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is difficult to ascertain the cause of these bumps without examination. However, possibilities include infection or hematoma (collection of blood).
In view of malaise, it could be infection.
you should show him to a GP, and do routine investigations such as blood counts, serum electrolytes, blood sugar, etc.
He would get better with proper treatment.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
