Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarged neck lymph nodes giving lumps.
This can be due to having some infection in surrounding area like scalp, ear or throat.
If there is no acute infection he might not have symptoms like fever, pain or discomfort.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
