Hi,

A Lymph node of that size in the arm pitfalls under the category of insignificant lymphadenopathy and need not be worried about, please.

Unless he has symptoms like extreme pallor, anemia, bone pains, chronic fever for more than a month, loss of appetite and weight loss - you need not worry, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
