Suggest Treatment For Flu And Swollen Glands In The Neck

My 16 year old son has just had the flu for the past week however over the last couple of days is now complaining of a very swollen gland on the right side of his neck - very noticeable when you are looking at him. He states it is sore to touch...he also has lots of small lumps on his underside of his arms...I am worried.
