Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You didn't mentioned your son's age.
He need proper examination for lymph nodes.
Generally scalp, face, ear and throat infection leads to enlarged lymph nodes in neck.
These are usually non significant and resolves with control in etiology.
You shouldn't worry and further evaluation can be done if it increases in size or associated with pain.
He may require investigations like routine hemogram.
Get well soon.
Take Care

it means you have chronic silent infection inside the body in the head annd neck area
as the infection continue these are lymphnode enlargement
yu need to confirm for sinusitis middle ear infections and scalp infection or throat
antibiotics will again clear the nodes but get ent consultation to find the cause and treat accordingly for cure
