Hi,
It looks like your son has constant problems with his lymph nodes. Lymph nodes on the neck tend to swell for several reasons. Some of them are: ear infection, common cold, measles, flu, mononucleosis, mumps, strep throat, tonsillitis and German measles. Now can you tell me has he had any complications with the disease listed here? Some of these are very common and are easy to treat but some keep coming back all the time and it is hard to get rid of them. What is doctor giving him for the treatment? Has he changed any of his habits lately? Like physical activities or maybe he changed his diet? Did you noticed any wounds on his skin?
